If there's one thing I've learned about life it's to never rest on your laurels. Always rest on a comfortable piece of furniture designed for the task. If you rest in an upright position, like Dracula, make sure your rest has lumbar support.

Most principal software engineers are really just Wittgensteinians.
"Make sure the application starts up in a reasonable time."
"What's a reasonable time? By start up do you mean when it can serve requests or when the health check endpoint is available?"
What indeed Ludwig, what indeed.

I can't even enjoy a blade of grass unless I know there's a subway handy, or a record store or some other sign that people do not totally regret life. Frank O'Hara would have hated Cork and it's shit public transport.

People say don't reinvent the wheel but every time it's been done it's been a pretty good idea: those caterpillar tracks on WW1 tanks basically won the war, the custom wheels on the Mars rover were pretty cool. I say we reinvent the wheel more often rather than forcing shit ideas because of a phrase

"Your ma listens to Michael Jackson's Thriller" (derogatory). This is particularly good because Thriller is the best selling album of all time so statistically it has a good chance of landing.

"A revolution can rise without a God, but not without a Devil", I sob into my balaclava as I place the explosives at St. James Gate. "Island's Edge was the perfect stout for the summer".

"I played over the music of that scoundrel Brahms. What a giftless bastard. It annoys me that this self-inflated mediocrity is hailed as a genius" - Tchaikovsky on Brahms
I love finding out about the inner lives of these titans of music. Keeping up With The Tchaikovskys would make stellar reality TV

If you have lights in your home that are over 3000K, I won't be visiting you and I urge you to re-evaluate your choices. Reflect. Ugh.

I was listening to the radio and the hosts were talking about exposure therapy. This is when you systematically expose yourself to something you fear. I've decided to give it a go and have been exposing myself to women. What a load of bollocks, I'm still terrified.

I've been on a pancake only diet and I am full of energy. Morning, noon, and night I'm hoovering those bad boys up. Then I go to sleep, wake up, and it starts all over again. I've called this energy producing process the Crepes Cycle.

I'm on holiday in this little town in the south of France, and all these shops and cafes that should have been open (according to the internet) are closed. Not a soul in sight. I've decided to call this the Fermé Paradox.

A cat has started visiting our house. Half his ear is missing, presumably from a fight. We've started calling him Mike Tyson. It occurred to me that Tyson's (person, not cat) ears are fine.. that he did the biting.
Anyway, the cat is very softly spoken, so I think the likeness still holds up.
