![]() So after the first time he tried nitrous oxide, Davy was like, “Hm … I think … I must experiment upon myself … again!” And then a little while later he was like, “I think … I had better continue experimenting upon myself … for a while!” But he pressed on, like, “Of course, for the good of humanity, for the expansion of knowledge, I must continue to huff whatever random drugs come out of my random drug machine. I have to admit, ever since I read this story, I have trouble reading Coleridge’s poems without inserting a lot of inappropriate giggling? Like, He was friends with the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who was also in his 20s at this time, and Coleridge would come over and they’d both just get shitfaced on laughing gas. The owlet’s cryĬame loud - and hark, again! loud as before. Have left me to that solitude, which suitsĪbstruser musings Īnd so forth. This is why I need Gwyneth Paltrow, really. I am telling you about this because the topic of today’s essay is such that I may at times seem to be writing from a corner of the basement with Humphrey and Sam. A din of mirth may perhaps escape from my nose and throat areas. In crock pot combine the first 10 ingredients.Īnd I want you to know that I am not experimenting on myself with nitrous fumes. Thanks to a good friend I had the honor to join a select group spending some time with The Woz. Cover & cook on low for 4-5 hours, drain. In a small saucepan, combine the corn starch & water until smooth. Topics ranged from how mutually intelligible Beijing and Hebei dialects of Mandarin are to whether history should be taught in schools. Being a nerd of the right age I had to ask Steve some questions that had been haunting me since 1978. I learned how to program by looking at SWEET16 code, the (build in) assembler/system monitor, Integer BASIC and DOS. ![]() Not only could he answer all but one question without pause, he also could describe how long it took, who else participated, what the other Steve did and most interesting to me he often gave an introspective view of how he felt while doing it, why it turned out the way it did and what he did not know but might have wished he had. If he ever needs a headshrinker he will be done in half a session. For example, he would describe this “flow” effect that we coders all know when working one something complex. Incasu, Steve was working on a different timing of the disk head read/write signal. Specificly he moved from a 4/8ms to a 4/8/12ms signal in order to cram in some 25% extra bits. He described, much better than I can reproduce, how he worked till he was too tired, getting it almost done. ![]() Than next day it would take very long to get back into the flow and he would work till he was too tired again, getting it almost done. Than one night he did what he had to do and worked till early mornings to finish it. He declared it the hardest code he ever did. He also compared performing a complex dance as a non dancer to writing Integer BASIC without relevant experience or training. In fact he disclosed he did not know, back than, that BASIC was a collection of incompatible dialects (like Mandarin). This entry is getting too long so I leave you with just one more gem. Steve wanted BASIC for the Apple because of the book “ 101 BASIC Computer Games“. He still seems oblivious of the enormous impact of this decision. He chose my first computer language for me and for most all my peer coders.Polish ace Maciej Janowski stormed to a sensational 16 points for Wroclaw as the PGE Ekstraliga champions held on for a 46-44 win at home to Gorzow on Sunday.ĭespite double world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik and Szymon Wozniak teaming up for a last-heat 4-2 for the visitors, Janowski grabbed the all-important second spot to seal the points for Wroclaw. Magic reeled off four wins and two second places for the Olympic Stadium outfit and was beaten only by Zmarzlik. Janowski was supported by 10 paid 11 points from Gleb Chugunov, while Tai Woffinden tallied eight paid nine and Dan Bewley scored six paid seven. Advances some ideas using Steve Wozniaks 6502 SWEET16 interpreted byte-code language as inspiration. Zmarzlik was Gorzow’s top performer on 14, with Wozniak notching nine paid 10, Martin Vaculik accruing eight paid nine and Anders Thomsen collecting seven paid eight. In the day’s other match, Speedway GP duo Robert Lambert and Jack Holder both piled up the points for Torun, but it was not enough to save them from a 47-43 loss at Leszno. Lambert raced to 13 points for the visitors, with Holder picking up 12 paid 13, Patryk Dudek scoring nine paid 11 and Pawel Przedpelski registering seven.įormer Polish champion Janusz Kolodziej raced to 14 for the Bulls as they took the win, with Piotr Pawlicki notching nine paid 10 and Aussie star Jason Doyle scoring three paid five.įor full details of the day’s results, scorers and the latest league table, visit (in Polish). ![]()
