Improvement or not?
May. 16th, 2003 12:30 pmWe just finished a debate on "The rights of the child are paramount", in which I did 2nd speaker for opposition and reply. It was fairly interesting and we lost, but at least I got some good feedback from everyone.
And I'm hungry.
Afternote: Had chicken wing rice for lunch, but it wasn't exactly cut very well...

The rest of the week...
May. 16th, 2003 09:20 pmI spent about half of the second debate checking moods and various other places, bad me. =P
And I've got to find out why I couldn't sync my PocketLJ entry today, resulting in this duplicate which I need to do something with.
On another note, watched The Matrix (original) today as sister borrowed VCD from friend. Two words: It rocks.
I'll be out tomorrow and probably offline, so you can call/SMS me if you need to/want to/are completely bored.

"The Bug" author Ellen Ullman talks about the Gothic terrors that lurk between the rational lines of computer code.
( I can't reproduce it! )
( Why she wanted to write it )
I think the history of software engineering is trying to find a way to write reliable code and miserably failing, year after year. It wouldn't be a perennial topic in software engineering if anyone had any idea how to fix the problem of bugs.
