Welcome to the machine

Rants from the operators room

Eleanor Rigby

This little text (written by some unknown poet), can perhaps express some of the feelings you get after many hours fighting the machine - in this case, the new MyOpera Proxy Error Monster :wink:

Eleanor Rigby
Sits at the keyboard
And waits for a line on the screen
Lives in a dream
Waits for a signal
Finding some code
That will make the machine do some more.
What is it for?
All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

Guru MacKenzie
Typing the lines of a program that no one will run;
Isn't it fun?
Look at him working,
Munching some chips as he waits for the code to compile;
It takes a while...
All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

Eleanor Rigby
Crashes the system and loses 6 hours of work;
Feels like a jerk.
Guru MacKenzie
Wiping the crumbs off the keys as he types in the code;
Nothing will load.
All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

(lyrics: Unknown, melody: The Beatles)

It's a nice text, but just for the record - I didn't wrote it, it's written by some unknown netpoet. You can find more of them here:

I'll update the blog so it is more clear who wrote it. Not used to this blog thingy yet :wink:
