Aw, I was hoping to see that slave mode was fixed. I want to use slave mode to make a music player with my own user interface and library/playlist manager in Ruby without having to worry about how to actually play the music. Unfortunat

If anyone wants to hook their actual printer up to _why's queue (which I'm pretty sure is what he intended), iandennismiller transcribed the OCaml program in SPOOL/HOMEWORK which polls whytheluckystiff.net and sends the PCL files to your pr

It's a little taller, but it still looks like an o to me. If you go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShpcjWG_Meo it says "This video is unavailable", which means that a video did exist at some point at that URL.

Heh, not knowing Java very well, I scoured the BigInteger docs for quirks and loopholes, then gave up and found your comment. I guess "java.security.SecureRandom" sounded too impregnably secure to be worth looking into.

He also created a language of his own which was inspired by Io: http://github.com/fogus/potion (and here's the pamphlet: http://runciter.net/potion )

Wow, I can't believe I thought it was "Plastic Cups" all this time. Thanks stephencelis, I've edited my comment. Edit: ah, now I remember. It's because in chapter 4 of the poignant guide, _why starts using plastic_cup as an example variable

Thankyou. :P I don't even have the whole line on my iPod, to be candid. I had to whittle it down to "turtles and goats\nfilling up boats" to make it fit. It's really just a reminder of _why and his words, although I have always liked that p
