Interestingly enough, you can't take it with grapefruit juice and if you take too much, it causes drowsiness. I stuck around for about a half hour after the meeting broke up walking around the Willow House grounds and drinking coffee until I felt I was OK enough to drive home. I was still seeing kind of cross-eyed though, and that made for an interesting drive. =) Tony >Da Fun and Educational! > >-----Original Message----- >From: intertwingled [mailto:intertwingled@qwest.net] >Sent: Friday, August 23, 2002 10:26 AM >To: phoenix-pm-list@happyfunball.pm.org >Subject: Phoenix.pm: a good time was had by all! > > > >Or, at least, I had a helluva good time.

I am truly sorry to hear that we have yet another person in our group who depends on drugs for (somewhat) normal living. I myself take Celexa for what I consider some serious anxiety. I tried taking Paxil, which is the usual reliever for anxiety, but it interfered with another condition of mine, which I will skip for the moment. All I want to say is that I hope I can develop a good sense of humor (like Tony) about my condition and medication over time. Right now, I am still in a state of horror that I actually have this disorder. One reason I did not show is due to this (not a matter of who mind you, just the "crowd" thing). 2. I did not get the joke about C++ being a "bag" on the side of C? Do you mean like a goiter(sp?) hanging off of someone's neck? Or am I totally missing the point here?

I did not get the joke about C++ being a "bag" on the side of C? Do you >mean like a goiter(sp?) hanging off of someone's neck? Or am I totally >missing the point here? > The original quote is from _Soul_Of_A_New_Machine_, by Tracy Kidder. The man who coined it was a computer architect (Wallach) who was ordered by his boss (West) to create a 32 bit version of a 16 bit (Eclipse) minicomputer: Accordingly, West called Wallach to his office in the spring of 1978 and asked him to draw up the architecture for a 32-bit Eclipse. Steve Wallach glared at West. Wallach got to his feet and, coining a phrase, said: "**** That! I'm not puttin' a bag on the side of the Eclipse." Then he stomped out of West's office. I take this to mean that Wallach would rather have designed a sleek new 32 bit architecture rather than create one that was hobbled by compatibility with an older 16 bit architecture. That's what Stroustrup should have done. Instead of taking a sleek small language like C and sticking this huge complicated C++ mess "on the side" of it, he should have developed his own new language. Leave C language alone, dammit! Funny thing is, Wallach eventually did go on to design a 32 bit Eclipse, (the Data General Eclipse MV/8000) and it turned out to be a big success. =P _Soul_Of_A_New_Machine_ is a very good read.

Searching CPAN is dangerous - you find so much cool stuff, so I thought I would punish everyone for my propensity for wasting time and forward along one fo these puppies: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/scripts/CPAN/authors/id/K/KA/KANE/Acme-Comment-1.01.zip SYNOPSIS TOP use Acme::Comment type=>'C++', own_line=>1; /* if (ref $mod) { $bar->{do}->blat(msg => 'blarg'); eval { i'm sooo sick of this time for some coffee */ // I prefer beer. --sqrn DESCRIPTION TOP Acme::Comment allows multi-line comments which are filtered out. Unlike the pseudo multi-line comment if (0) {}, the code being commented out need not be syntactically valid. USE TOP Acme::Comment contains several different commenting styles. Styles may be specified by the types argument, or by start and end and manipulated with own_line and one_line. Styles may contain multi-line comments and single-line comments. Perl, for example, has single-line comments in the form of #. C, on the other hand, has multi-line comments which begin with /* and end with */. With multi-line comments, leaving out a begin or an end comment will cause an error. Both types of comments may only be preceded on a line by whitespace. own_line TOP By default, own_line is true, which means that multi-line comments may not be followed by any characters other than whitespace on the same line. This is the safest option if you think your code may contain the comment characters (perhaps in a regex). If you disable it, other characters are allowed on the line after the starting delimiter, but these characters will be ignored. The closing delimiter cannot be followed by any other characters. Thus, in the following example, $foo would be set to 1. /* This is my real comment. */ $foo = 1; If you wish to change this option, you must specify either a type or start and end. one_line TOP By default, this is set to false, which means that multi-line comments may not end on the same line in which they begin. Turning this on allows the following syntax: /* comment */ If you wish to change this option, you must specify either a type or start and end. start and end TOP The start and end arguments allow you to supply your own commenting pattern instead of one of the ones available with type. It is not valid to provide the same pattern for both start and end. You cannot specify both type and start and end, and start and end must both be provided if you provide one of them. types TOP The types argument specifies what language style should be used. Only one language style may be specified. * Ada Single-line comments begin with '. * Advsys Advsys single-line comments begin with ;. * Alan Single-line comments start with --. * Algol Multi-line comments begin with 'comment' and end with ;. NOTE: You should not use Algol with own_line set to 0: The source filter will take a ; to be an ending tag for your comments, regardless of where it is. * AWK Single-line comments use #. * B Multi-line comments use /* and */. * Basic Single-line comments begin with '. * Beta Multi-line comments use (* and *). * Bliss Multi-line comments use (* and *). * Blue Single-line comments use either == or --. * C The default for Acme::Comment is C-style multi-line commenting with /* and */. However, if you wish to change one_line or own_line, you must explicitly specify the type. * C++ C++ multi-line style uses /* and */. Single-line uses //. * C# C# multi-line style uses /* and */. Single-line uses //. * Chill Multi-line comments use /* and */. * Clean Clean multi-line style uses /* and */. Single-line uses //. * E Single-line comments use #. * Eiffel Single-line comments start with --. * Elastic Elastic multi-line style uses /* and */. Single-line uses //. * Focal Single-line comments start with comment. * Fortran Single-line comments use !. * Guile Guile multi-line style uses /* and */. Single-line uses //. * Haskell Single-line comments start with --. * HTML HTML style has multi-line commenting in the form of . * Hugo Multi-line comments begin with !\ and end with \!. Single-line comments are not implemented due to their similarity with multi-line comments. * Icon Single-line comments use #. * Intercal Single-line comments are marked with DO NOTE THAT and may optionally be preceded by a line number in the following syntax: (23) DO NOTE THAT. * Java Java multi-line style uses /* and */. Single-line uses //. * Joy Multi-line comments use (* and *). * LaTeX Single-line comments use %. * LISP LISP single-line comments begin with ;. * Orthogonal Orthogonal single-line comments begin with ;. * Parrot Single-line comments use #. * Pascal Multi-line comments use (* and *). * Perl Single-line comments use #. * PHP PHP multi-line style uses /* and */. Single-line uses //. * Pilot Single-line comments in the syntax \/\/ are supported. * PL/I Multi-line comments use /* and */. * PostScript Single-line comments use %. * Python Single-line comments use #. * Ruby Ruby multi-line comments begin with =begin and end with =end. Single-line comments use #. * Scheme Scheme single-line comments begin with ;. * Unlambda Single-line comments use #. * Var'aq Multi-line comments use (* and *). CAVEATS TOP Because of the way source filters work, it is not possible to eval code containing comments and have them correctly removed. NOTE TOP Some of these programming languages may be spelled incorrectly, or may have the wrong quote characters noted. The majority of this information was found by searches for language specifications. So please report errors, as well as obscure commenting syntax you know of. AUTHOR TOP This module by Jos Boumans .
