"You are the music while the music lasts." --T. S. Eliot

I am looking forward to twenty years from now when I will have time to read all the Kurt Vonnegut, T. S. Eliot, and Charles Bukowski I missed when I was younger. Fortunately, for now, I need to get some work done.



Read them now. They may even guide your future.


They guide my present.

"A man has not everything to do, but something; and because he cannot do everything, it is not necessary that he should do something wrong." -- from Civil Disobedience by Henry Thoreau

That something I have to do is learning to write shell scripts at the moment.


Listen to them while you write those scripts? Better than nothing?


Fortunately? Why on earth do you say that?
