LORE: One ST8

This is my personal page. Yes everyone can see it, but that's part of the point. Yes I think the Drop Cap thing is wonderful and so is the image do-dad that puts the image off to the right.

<PenNPopper> hooray for lore
<PenNPopper> just had to throw that out there
<grey-mind> :)
<-- Dorganath has quit ("Leaving")
<OneST8> PenNPopper: as an fyi: when you want to put a URL in the page, put it in [[http://foo]] so it links nicely, otherwise you end up with things like ~ and _ acting all wonky. If you don't want it to actually link to the address at all, use [no]http://foo[ / no ] instead.
<PenNPopper> thanks
<OneST8> keeps the page clean and people can actually figure out the link *grins*
<PenNPopper> noticed that on my page, just hadn't cleaned it up
* OneST8 nods
<PenNPopper> how about < and >
<OneST8> I don't think they're used in the markup
<PenNPopper> i wanted to paste a discussion from here onto the page
<PenNPopper> they get stripped out (likely in the conversion to html)
<OneST8> put the whole thing in [no] if it looks like carp in the preview
<PenNPopper> i'll try that

Note that I had to make the [ / no ] gapped out for it to work right.

EXTERIOR: DAGOBAH (DAY)

With Yoda strapped to his back, Luke climbs up one of the many thick vines that grow in the swamp until he reaches the Dagobah statistics lab. Panting heavily, he continues his exercises -- grepping, installing new packages, logging in as root, and writing replacements for two-year-old shell scripts in Python.

YODA: Code! Yes. A programmer's strength flows from code maintainability. But beware of Perl. Terse syntax... more than one way to do it... default variables. The dark side of code maintainability are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you when code you write. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.

LUKE: Is Perl better than Python?

YODA: No... no... no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.

LUKE: But how will I know why Python is better than Perl?

YODA: You will know. When your code you try to read six months from now.

OneST8: Join the dark side Luke! We can throw lightning bolts from our finger-tips!
