A completely uncreative post

It's been a while since I wielded my .. fingers over my keyboard. Writers block one might say. That would be using abstract words and euphemism to get away with, what in reality, has been my brain refusing to exert and explore. It's been growing fat, flabby and rusted in it's comfort zone.

This being said, I don't think it would be a good idea to work it too much on it's first day out. So, this post is basically going to comprise of quotes, words and sites that were brought to my attention and caught it during the past few weeks.

This dude said some rather interesting stuff over a chat:

"The stupid Indian fallacy: working harder somehow makes you a better man."

"I am not smarter so I have to work harder. There's always somebody smarter so you just blindly keep running the stupid rat race."
[Amen? Or are we trying to justify our indolence and inability?]

He also told me of this link.


This friend had the following status message:

"Que: Cars cross a certain point in the highway in accordance with a Poisson process with rate λ = 3 per minute. If Reb blindly runs across the highway, then what is the probability that she will be uninjured if the amount of time that it takes her to cross the road is s seconds? (Assume that if she is on the highway
when a car pases by then she will be injured.) Calculate for s=2, 10, 15.

Ans: Die bitch die."


Recently finished reading "A picture of Dorian Grey" by Oscar Wilde. Oscar Wilde lead a rather interesting life. (Wiki link here). Quotes from the book:

"People who love only once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they really call their loyalty and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect-simply a confession of failure."

"Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes."

"Men marry because they are tired. Women marry because they are curious. Both are disappointed."


This page has some real kick ass quotes.

"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." (Rich Cook)


As for the title of this post, at least I'm not deluded.
