    Too funny. Go out to Krugle to see how they got in and land on code they ripped off at Mandarin. It's OK to rip it off but this one is ha ha funny cause they are sposed to be a technical site. In Germany they take our code and rework it in German. Some have reworked it in Bahasa. And countless have reworked it and presented it as education material in languages I know nothing about. That is great. Theirs always looks better than mine. Online since 99 so the design is dated and i'm too old to do it over. There are hundreds and hundreds of pages at mandarin and i still recognize my code. i don't borrow code. Some people use books, some search for examples on the net. I've worked with those types. Me? I just make it up as i go while they are pulling code examples and trying to figure out what it does. i code my own. been sharin it since 1984 but don't tell anyone cause they will know that i'm really that old. and when the internet was a black screen with green text and we could help people with questions. krugle is exactly why some developers can't write their own code. i think it is necessary to be able to do all of it without looking at a book. serious developers that is. ah, that is too serious. krugle will show me what? the only code i've seen worth stealing is rb. that dude can actually make up his own shit. and it pisses me off that he knows how to use color. and words. and stuff like that. steal my cobol, steal some php, python anyone? steal the database design. that was pure genius. steal ...oh, i gave that code away to the national marine fisheries service and got commendations, and from the sas institute back when they used to thank us. but no, nobody wants real code. jes some html and css and ...the easy stuff. they never taket the good stuff. I've fallen into Krugle and I can't get out!

      *sigh*

      News never reached me while I was having my own annus horribilis and so it came and went and I never knew. Until this post reached my, by way of Technorati, since I was on Meg’s quilt.

      So this is how I learn of Meg’s passing. A year later. Strange and sad.

      Thanks for remembering.
