waffle

As Daniel Jalkut has, crankily, pointed out during previous comments, recent waffle stories are merely about issues that annoys me. I feel I should explain myself.

waffle as you all know isn’t necessarily about anything. There are recurring themes, if you will: HTML5 rules; Apple isn’t as bad as this guy says they are; Apple is even worse than this guy says they are; Apple is really quite good; Ruby is really bitchin’; I wrote something good in Ruby; here’s why Python sucks; oh goodness gracious, I can’t believe anyone would want to touch C++ with a twenty foot pole operated via satellite by a robot, itself operated by another robot actually probably programmed by someone in C++, but disregard that if you can; here’s a bad hack I just wrote; I just put out some new software; I am about to put out some new software; I know I said I was about to put out some software but then I didn’t and I’m sorry I didn’t; oh, no, I haven’t given up on that software, it’s still coming before Christmas… no, I don’t know which Christmas in particular; also, self-deprecation.

Recently, some things have been stewing mentally into some sort of primordial goo. I have a bunch of half-written drafts that may meld together; a bunch of them have no good conclusion at all and don’t actually go anywhere, which is a shame because if I could make them go anywhere that means I would have made some progress in that area. In the meantime, the more reactionary pieces have been easy to write, and it’s what’s been published. So, no, I don’t sit all day yelling at kids to get off the lawn.
