Most likely would get a laugh in space if "someone"
is listening. They would have to have one "HELL" of
a sense of humor !!!
In among my many confusions of quest, I entertain an
irony of selected humorous moments. Some are innocent
and simple, others self honed in perky jade and (self
perceived) clever probes. Trying to restrain my eclectic
mindswings takes some effort (as you've probably noticed .
Part of me is a "kindly old fart" but there are some still
crocodilian chills that help me (hopefully) think a bit more
clearly. I'm not always sure **WHOMmmmmmmmmmmmmm** of me is
posting.
By nature I would be a "so called" artist, by vocation I
WAS mostl;y (in the heyday of dinosaur main frames), a
diagnostic programmer. In that type of programming you must
trick a sinful computer system into telling its most private
ooops! ...scheme kindly to trap its logic errors however
rare they manifest .....coax it into whispering its most
embarrassing defects. Does bend the mind a bit! I learned
from it, a little of the art of distrust and a mite of the
humor in design ....that a computer COULD do so much more
wrong, so cleverly, than it could do right. Of course
computers became super reliable, and now I'm just a retired
ol' grandfarther!
