[Rio-pm] Curious speech

[Ole Peter Smith]

Caras

Gostei desse, seems to me like this dude -like his enfant Perl - is all
about free thinking...

'I have to be honest here. I'm with Linus--I personally want to take over
the world. I want to take over the world because I'm an egomaniac. A nice
sort of egomaniac, an egomaniac moderated by belief in the value of
humility, but an egomaniac nonetheless.'

Hoje levantei, tinha um cadastro no ar - em Php, pelas imposicoes externas,
uaaad - mais eles queriam somente uma tabela de totais; pensei de novo
uaaaaad, lembrei 'the butler' e fez uma daquelas de 50 linhas, 30 minutos (e
ainda formatado), o que LW fala:

'Fortunately, I am not Perl. Perl was my servant before it was anyone
else's, so I taught Perl to be a better servant than I could ever teach
myself to be. Perl is like the perfect butler. Whatever you ask Perl to do,
it says ``Very good, sir,'' or ``Very good, madam.''

Back to work,
Ole
