You need a cat. If it cares about you, it will bring home some delicious mutilated mice first thing in the morning, so that you don't starve to death and eventually learn to catch your own.
Weichei. 
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.

We used to have a wild cat that allowed us to use "her" garden. She always stared at me, and it was obvious that her thoughts were something like "If that guy stops moving for long enough, he's lunch!". No way am I letting any of her relatives into the house!

Looking tough and fierce actually is the typical way a cat tries to avoid fights with competitors.

I've been quiet the past few weeks. (Perhaps with a sigh of relief to some  )
That's because I changed jobs and I'm now working as a Project Manager instead of coding/designing/analysing.
The biggest advantage is that I'm on bike distance from home so I'm done with traffic jams  .
Perhaps I'll be back for an occasional visit, or if I ever should return to coding  .
All the best.

PM's aren't banned from the site automatically, you are even allowed to visit if you code in VB and Javascript, so being a PM should not be a bar at all!

yes, but when the slippage occurs even though you can blame the dev you have to deliver the news, and justify why they failed.
actually worst PM gig I had boss wanted me (on a late delivery) to tell the client X. Problem was it would mean lying to their faces.
I said, "no."
He said, "OK, expect your resignation letter ASAP." (I think expecting me to back down.)
2 minutes later he had my resignation.
Stupid pricks made me serve my notice. (about 2 weeks (4 weeks less leave), arrive late, long lunch, leave early (usually 5 minutes after getting back from lunch) - punctuated by ms solitair etc.) hmmm, next discussion topic

Wow, it requires some cojones to do such an outing on a public programming forum.

To jump on a recent's Dilbert[^] bandwagon : How do you manage biking without a brain ?
Oh, and congrats on the promotion/new job - I assume it was one.

Hmmm, follow the lead of so many of the cyclists I see round here. So far I've managed to avoid contact, but some only by the slimmest of margins.

It's only a matter of will. Once you have overcome this, the punches find their way alone.

Nope I was stuck in my job (no room for improvement or move) so I just left and found something else...

Cool, have fun at the new one then !

Congrats … Are you going to use an e-bike ? at my work location (Gent) we were recently encouraged to go for e-bikes, that's why I am asking ...
Cheers,

... into deep water.
So I recently produced this tutorial on building LL(1) parsers
Trying to make a parser using a variant of LL(k) w/ state machines instead of parse tables and I can't find readable documentation on LL(k) parsing at all so I've had to figure it out myself.
Forget you berkeley profs. I don't need your CS164 course. I have my grit and determination.
The state machine thing is pretty neat though. I've got it working for LL(1) and theoretically beyond. It's *building* the state machine past LL(1) that I need to figure out.
There's no documentation for doing things this way. There's no tutorial. The math is *hard*. Even if you think about it in code instead of math more readily, the code is *hard*
It's very clever though. When I finish it I'll feel like a hero
Edit: I think I just built an LL(*) parser after shelving the above method (at least at the moment) though this version backtracks, and I don't like that much
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.

Now I know what LL stands for: League of Legends

haha, it's more complex than that. It basically means it reads the input left to right and top down (nodes first, then leaves) and forms a left-derivation tree.
There are parsers called LR parsers that read the input bottom up - leaves first and form a right derivation tree.
