He's a real UNIX Man
		Sitting in his UNIX LAN
		Making all his UNIX .plans
		For nobody

		Knows the blocksize from 'du'
		Cares not where /dev/null goes to
		Isn't he a bit like you
		And me?

		UNIX Man, don't worry
		It's the tube that's blurry
		UNIX Man
		The new kernel boots, just like you had planned

		He's as wise as he can be
		Programs in lex, yacc and C
		UNIX Man, can you help me
		At all?

		UNIX Man, please listen
		My printout is missin'
		UNIX Man
		The wo-o-o-orld is your 'at' command

–UNIX Man (to The Beatles' "Nowhere Man")

"Die 11 häufigsten Aussagen, die man von einem klingonischen Softwareentwickler hört:

11) "Spezifikationen sind für die Schwachen und Ängstlichen."

10) "Dies Maschine ist ein Stück GAGH! Ich brauche ein Quadcore-System, damit ich mit diesem Code richtig kämpfen kann."

9) "Einrückungen im Code?! Ich zeige Dir wie man einrückt wenn ich Deinen Schädel einrücke."

8) "Was soll das Gerede mit der 'Freigabe'? Klingonen erstellen für ihre Software keine 'Freigabe'. Wir lassen die Software aus ihrem Käfig, damit sie eine blutige Spur von Designern und Qualitätsprüfern hinter sich herzieht."

7) "Klingonische Funktionsaufrufe haben keine 'Parameter' - sie haben 'Argumente' - wage nicht zu widersprechen."

6) "Debugging? Klingonen debuggen nicht. Unsere Software ist nicht dazu gedacht, die Schwachen zu verhätscheln."

5) "Ich habe die Abteilung vom technischen Qualitätsmanagement in einem Bat-Leth Wettkampf besiegt. Sie werden uns nie wieder belästigen."

4) "Ein ECHTER klingonischer Programmierer kommentiert seinen Code nicht!"

3) "Mit dem Entwurf dieser Anforderungsliste hast Du die Ehre meiner Familie beleidigt. Mache Dich bereit zu sterben!"

2) "Du stellst den Sinn meines Codes in Frage? Ich sollte Dich auf der Stelle töten, gerade so wie Du jetzt dastehst!"

1) "Unsere Nutzer werden Furcht und Achtung vor unserer Software haben. Laßt die Software los! Laßt sie los, auf daß die Nutzer wie die Hunde fliehen, die sie sind!""

In meiner Brust wohnen zwei Wölfe:
"Einer ist der Wolf der

Verzweiflung und des Neides.
Der andere ist der Wolf

" You were on your way home when you died. It was a car accident. Nothing pa..."

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 16:07:57 GMT

You were on your way home when you died.

It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMT tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.

And that's when you met me.

"What... what happened?" You asked. "Where am I?"

"You died," I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words.

"There was a... a truck and it was skidding..."

"Yup." I said.

"I... I died?"

Yup. But don't feel bad about it. Everyone dies." I said.

You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. "What is this place?" You asked. "Is this the afterlife?"

"More or less." I said.

"Are you god?" You asked.

"Yup." I replied. "I'm God."

"My kids.. My wife," you said.

"What about them?"

"Will they be all right?"

"That's what I like to see." I said. "You just died and your main concern is for your family. That's good stuff right there."

You looked at me with fascination. To you, I didn't look like God. I just looked like some man. Or possibly a woman. Some vague authority figure, maybe. More of a grammar school teacher than the almighty.

"Don't worry," I said. "They'll be fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way. They didn't have time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it's any consolation, she'll feel very guilty for feeling relieved."

"Oh," you said. "So what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?"

"Neither," I said. "You'll be reincarnated."

"Ah," you said. "So the Hindus were right."

"All religions are right in their own way," I said. "Walk with me."

You followed along as we strode through the void. "Where are we going?"

"Nowhere in particular," I said. "It's just nice to walk while we talk."

"So what's the point, then?" You asked. "When I get reborn, I'll just be a blank slate, right? A baby. So all my experiences and everything I did in this life won't matter."

"Not so!" I said. "You have within you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives. You just don't remember them right now."

I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. "Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly image. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are. It's like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it's hot or cold. You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, you've gained all the experience it had."

"You've been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven't stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. If we hung out here for long enough, you'd start remembering everything. But there's no point to doing that between each life."

"How many times have I been reincarnated, then?"

"Oh, lots. Lots and lots. And in to lots of different lives," I said. "This time around, you'll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 AD."

"Wait, what?" You stammered. "You're sending me back in time?"

"Well, I guess technically. Time, as you know it, only exists in your universe. Things are different where I came from."

"Where you come from?" You said.

"Oh sure," I explained. "I come from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there are others like me. I know you'll want to know what it's like there, but honestly, you wouldn't understand."

"Oh," you said, a little let down. "But wait. If I get reincarnated to other places in time, I could have interacted with myself at some point."

"Sure. Happens all the time. And with both lives only aware of their own lifespan, you don't even know it's happening."

"So what's the point of it all?"

"Seriously?" I asked. "Seriously? You're asking me for the meaning of life? Isn't that a little stereotypical?"

"Well, it's a reasonable question," you persisted.

I looked you in the eye. "The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature."

"You mean mankind? You want us to mature?"

"No, just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature and become a larger and greater intellect."

"Just me? What about everyone else?"

"There is no one else," I said. "In this universe, there's just you and me."

You stared blankly at me. "But all the people on earth..."

"All you. Different incarnations of you."

"Wait, I'm everyone!?"

"Now you're getting it," I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.

"I'm every human being who ever lived?"

"Or who will ever live, yes."

"I'm Abraham Lincoln?"

"And you're John Wilkes Booth, too," I added.

"I'm Hitler?" You said, appalled.

"And you're the millions he killed."

"I'm Jesus?"

"And you're everyone who followed him."

You fell silent.

"Every time you victimized someone," I said, "you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you've done, you've done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you."

You thought for a long time.

"Why?" You asked me. "Why do you do all this?"

"Because someday, you will become like me. Because that's what you are. You're one of my kind. You're my child."

"Whoa," you said, incredulous. "You mean I'm a god?"

"No, not yet. You're a fetus. You're still growing. Once you've lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born."

"So the whole universe," you said, "it's just..."

"An egg." I answered. "Now it's time for you to move on to your next life."

And I sent you on your way."

"Impression Sunrise, Claude Monet, 1873. The sun is..."

"Impression Sunrise, Claude Monet, 1873.

The sun is set against the dawn, the orange color against the gray and the vibrant force of the sun against its motionless surroundings. To many spectators, the sun undulates or pulsates slightly. Why is this so? The sun is nearly the same luminance as the grayish clouds. Notice how the sun nearly disappears if you remove the color. (Click painting to reset.) This lack of contrast explains the painting’s eerie quality.

The sun is perceived differently is different parts of our mind. To the more primitive subdivisions of our brain, the sun is nearly invisible. But to the primate subdivision, the sun appears normal. Thus, there is an inconsistency between our perception of the sun in the primitive and primate portions of our brain. The sun is poorly defined and ambiguous to the portion of our brain that carries information about position and movement.

–Claude Monet's Impression Sunrise
