You would not say that if you knew Mr Mercedes. No doubt he will have another 1000 changes to everything I delivered him today. For the rest of the year he is out of luck. I still had a few free days left. See you in january. 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Now I'm a little scared. Because code that I knew was broken is working but when I "fixed" it the whole thing falls on its face.
The problem is, given a bit of code, find all variables declared within the scope of that code.
Prior, i was just getting all the variables in the routine. I knew it was wrong, but i hadn't worked out the problem yet.
Now I have, so I went back to update the code. As soon as I put it in Slang's patcher stops finding some of my variables!
So I test the variable tracer some more. It works as good as I could have hoped.
Which means somewhere, something else doesn't. And I barely know where to begin to look because of how this works.
Worse, currently my repro requires running a very particular bit of slang code as part of my lexer generator - "Rolex"'s operation, which means i had to pull that out and duplicate it in a scratch binary to debug, but it's still not very narrowed down. I can't quite find the bit where i need to test in the debugger.
The trouble is visitors are nasty when things go wrong. The visitor works right, it's the code that's firing on visit that's bad somewhere, and that happens inside a visit so the call stack is a nightmare.
And it's friday the 13th. Just my day. Maybe I should stay off the computer. 
Building stuff like this is rough.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

With the ranger options available, I'd say you made a Boo Boo with that post.

Shouldn't that be 'loaded for Berra'? Though I'm not sure as I'm feeling just av er age today.

He's making a database.
He's sorting it twice.
SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE behavior = 'nice'
SQL Clause is coming to town!
Sorting twice, SELECT *, seems Santa is getting coal this year!

I have proof that Santa works for the NSA:

He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

One of the few instances where marketing might be actually useful.
If the NSA just presented themselves slightly differently, they wouldn't be seen as this ominous presence.

You fail to realize how few people know who the NSA is.
If more people knew, they would have to have more oversight!

I had never thought of this, the Santa clause...

You're right, I didn't see it. Having checked on imdb, there is also a version 2 dating back to 2002.
On the other hand, the only film I can think of in 1994, is Pulp Fiction; not the same audience

That works with the melody if you pronounce it "sequel". I don't. To me, it's "squeal."

He sees you hard-code passwords
He knows where you GOTO
He knows you spelled receipt reciept*
So you know what you must DO
