Firstly,

Well done Nik!

Question:  
Whence shall such service commence?
(i.e. in time for the meet on the 30th or for next month?)


Thought:
It has been my considered opinion since I heard he news about Zoe & Norm's
seperation that Zoe should give up the fast, hedonistic lifestyle of a DJ's
wife and fill the void lefts by her father retirement from television.
Whilst I cannot claim that cildren will be particular taken by the concept
of Zoe Ball's Think of a Number, I will guarantee record breaking viewing
figures for the television premier of "Zoe Ball reveals all" ;)

..and now a lesson from the Tao of Programming (the way of the ancients and
the Unixophiles).

A master was explaining the Tao to one of his novices.  
"The Tao is embodied in all software - regardless of how insignificant,"
said the master.

"Is the Tao in a hand-held calculater?" asked the novice.

"It is," came the reply.

"Is the Tao in a video game?" continued the novice.

"It is even in a video game," said the master.

"And is the Tao in the DOS for a personal computer?"

The master coughed and shifted his position slightly.  
"The lesson is over for today," he said.
