A spoof of "The Raven", a humorous look at one man's battle with his computer. |
**** THIS IS NOT COMPLETE - THESE ARE ONLY FIRST THREE VERSES - MORE TO COME **** Please comment on the existing portion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once upon an evening dreary, whilst I pondered, weak and weary over many a quaint and curious volume of PHP Galore!, While I nodded, nearly sleeping, suddenly there came a beeping, as if an error were seeping deep into my Intel Core. “‘Tis another segfault”, I muttered, disturbing my processor, “Reboot, computer--I implore!” Now at this point I should probably mention, for those of you who are paying attention, that I’ve had my share of woes, and troubles with this computer before. Sometimes it would crash and bang; Internet Explorer would hang, I’d use some expressive slang, and stomp my feet upon the floor. So I began to search for something, that could my sanity restore. I could not take it anymore. I remember it as if I were sober; it was early June (or late October), when I removed the evil Windows, the operating system I abhor. My hard drive light was always flashing, while the pagefile it was hashing, It was just in the process of crashing, when I finally said “NO MORE!” “I must have Linux”, I sputtered, as I opened IEXPLORE, The download was a simple chore. |
