tales from the c++ compiler's perspective / nutshell uncracked

i spent most of today sitting around working on inane projects. and not so inane projects. i mean it really depends on how you have decided to name the inane. there was the one thing which worked with the api and such, made some interesting things with that when i fooled around, but the truth is, i think i took a large amount of time just for myself to sit there and, well… think.

no, the process didn't halt, it just has to think a little bit before it can decide exactly what it has to tell you. chances are, it'll be something pretty cool if you have the patience to wait it out. but waiting is like, well, waiting. it takes time. do you have the time to sit there for hours on end, waiting for potentially nothing?

so i think the solution is to pop away and eat some cashews. the code is compiling, so we've got nothing better to do. grab a coffee, grab some nuts, grab some chocolate, get that theobromine rushing through your ystem and everything feels better. methyltheobromine too. wake yourself up when the fresh morning awakens. awakened into a waking world, the world confuses itself sometimes for a totally different creature.

usually some sort of velociraptor.

whatsoever you may decide, you still live on this orbiting raptor, space has no extremes that you will ever decline to.

i am a sad sad c++ compiler, i spend my time

staring out from a blank terminal

waiting for your loving input;

what must i do, however, but my job?

Someone's gotta do it, yeah? Besides, waiting is fun sometimes, the anticipation of results and the possibilities of it running through your mind… It can have a bit of a rush, depending on what it is.

only the compiler sits waiting for you,

the black terminal echoes out your job security.

i want to take a break though

being a compiler is annoying.
