Literature & Programming in one breathe??!!!

I never understood why my friends hated literature.

Maybe because literature is like programming quoted from something a senior said..

Writing a poem is the way you put certain words together to form a piece of art.If everything goes well you get a good one. Sometimes seemingly simple words put together a strong image just like programming does.

This is about the best description i've heard about programming from just about anyone.

A programmer would most likely to tell you that the best program is the one with the shortest lines of codes. The words reveals the complexity in thinking and the absolute brillianess of a writer.

Strange thoughts my senior has. Strange indeed don't you think?A really nice way to describe things. Just this thought got me thinking how brilliant this senior is. How noobified i feel compared to the tons of brilliant people i meet in school. Hopefully i can make my stay there long enough to 'pick on their brains.

Meeting loads of brilliant/brainy people in school seems to make up one of the strange reasons that drags me out of bed and to school everyday.School's pretty interesting right? How contradictory it is to my previous post? Hahaha.. but then again i just completed my lit assignment and i am allowed to be as such. Right?

IroNic...ReFlective... SaTirical..

Maybe now i understand a bit to why my friends hate literature.

Maybe.... just maybe... Literature is like programming. English that doesn't really make much sense but to the selected group of people.

I seem to have lots of thoughts now.... isn't it just a great time to get a blog?

This is just something dixon showed me that i thought is pretty funny so here it is... titled "Are computers Male or Female"
Five reasons to believe computers are female:
  • No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
  • The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
  • The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you".
  • Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
  • As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

However, another group of computer scientists (all female) think that computers should be referred to as if they were male. Their reasons follow:

Five reasons to believe computers are male:

  • They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.
  • They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.
  • As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model.
  • In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
  • Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.
