"Solve it in the best possible way..." Yeah, right. How do I
subtract myself from the equation?

I'm running out of time, dosh... and ideas. This is fucked...

Being a time traveler can be exhausting. Both physically and
emotionally... :S

Struggling to keep a straight face... Should I tell them I also
speak Spanish? Nah, I'll play dumb for a while... LOL!

The one thing I love about being human is that I can change what
I don't like about me. Most of the time...

You know you are doing it wrong when you have to override an
overriding method in order to avoid the inheritance from
class A in Class B, which in turn inherits from Class C...
.
August/16 1834AEST
Multiple inheritance... I hate multiple inheritance...
It is like commiting a crime: You may get away with it for
some time but sooner or later, the invoice will be in the mail.

Q. How can you manually create a random string of characters?

Don't you just hate it when you are visiting a page, click on a
reference link, and are taken away to some other site with the
original web site nowhere to be seen? It's like shooting their
own foot. How difficult is for web designers to add a
target="_blank" to their links???? (Does not apply for gopher.
It doesn't have such function... yet. Then again, you can just
right-click on it... XD )

Your life is boring. No, really...

June/23 1840AEST
Q. When do you use i.e., and when do you use e.g.?
A. i.e. = id est (That is, in English). Used in place of
"in other words," or "it/that is". It specifies or makes
more clear.
E.g. = exempli gratia (For the sake of an example, in English)
used in expressions similar to "including", when you are not
intending to list everything that is being discussed.

When we jumped into Sicily, the units became separated, and I
couldn't find anyone. Eventually I stumbled across two colonels,
a major, three captains, two lieutenants, and one rifleman, and
we secured the bridge. Never in the history of war have so few
been led by so many.

The bone-chilling scream split the warm summer night in two, the
first half being before the scream when it was fairly balmy and
calm and pleasant, the second half still balmy and quite pleasant
for those who hadn't heard the scream at all, but not calm or balmy
or even very nice for those who did hear the scream, discounting
the little period of time during the actual scream itself when your
ears might have been hearing it but your brain wasn't reacting yet
to let you know.

Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time.
So long as there is a regular progression of stimuli to get your
mental hooks into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this
begins, its rate is a matter of discretion.
-- Corwin, Prince of Amber

OK. That does it. Pet peeve of the day: People that chew their food
making noise as if they were some sort of cow. Disgusting!

"I wonder", he said to himself, "what's in a book while it's closed.
Oh, I know it's full of letters printed on paper, but all the same,
something must be happening, because as soon as I open it, there's a
whole story with people I don't know yet and all kinds of adventures
and battles."

And one hour back! As a side note, the assignment wasn't that bad.
I actually enjoyed it... maybe a little too much. I ended up

It has been over a month since the last time I posted something
here, I know. Too many things going on too fast in my life. I'm
actually fed up with all the bullshit that social media posts these
days, so I did what any person willing to keep their sanity would do:
Remove themselves from it for some time.
I have also been working on my (professional-like) site, if you want
to check it out, it's at itaustraliagroup.com. As for the personal
one, I will be setting it up at lherrera.sdf.org soon-ish, hehe.
