Today's Prayer to the Machine Gods
Topic: Miscellaneous 10:01 am EST, Nov  1, 2006

I'll admit to a bit of ancestor worship going on (take that babtist upbringing!)...

Oh Machine Gods on the High Councel of Turing, elegant be thy designs, thy inspiration come. thy project be done, on powerpc as it is on x86, give us this day our daily code, and forgive us our build breaking checkins, as we forgive them of others. And lead us not into management; but deliver us from bad engineers. Amen.

alternatively...

Oh Machine Gods, grant me the serenity to accept the code I can not rewrite, the courage to rewrite the code I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

[ HAH! Nice. I might have to print these out and stick them on some cubes around here. Then again, it might be taken as offensive... there are some relatively uptight godly's up in this.

In the meantime, I'm trying to picture the background imagery for these. The original quote that inspired your second prayer is usually set against a sunset over an ocean or some shite... what do we do with this? Someone zenning out in front of a few flatscreens? -k]
