(meme) In Honor of Dr. Seuss
In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, which was yesterday, I unearthed the following two memes, which I’m enjoying this morning with my tea, together with a plate of green eggs and ham. Now, off to work…

(meme) Obsolete Skill Meme
I guess I must do a meme. My random icon from Semagic tells me so. Not to mention I need to dry off a bit from cleaning out the gutters and tightening the toilet bolts (more obsolete skills). This one was snarfed from kerinda:
You are ‘programming in QBASIC’. This programming language (of which the acronym stands for ‘Quick Beginners’ All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code’), which is so primitive that it cannot easily be used for any purpose involving the Internet nor even sound, was current more than a decade ago.
You are independent, in a good way. When something which you need cannot be found, you make it yourself. In writing and in talking with people, you value clarity and precision; your friends may not realize how important that is. When necessary, you are prepared to be a mediator in conflicts between your friends. You are very rational, and you think of things in terms of logic and common sense. Unfortunately, your emotionally unstable friends may be put off by your devotion to logic; they may even accuse you of pedantry and insensitivity. Your problem is that programming in QBASIC has been obsolete for a long time.
What obsolete skill are you? brought to you by Quizilla, a site that gives you quizzes with annoying pop-under advertising when you attempt to cut and paste the code
Analysis
First, raise your hand if you remember the game “Gorillas” shown in the pictures, with gorillas throwing bannas to destroy buildings. I do!
The analysis is spot-on, but I really wish it had chosen a better obsolete language, such as PL/I, Algol 68, or even SNOBOL. Hell, if you are going to choose a BASIC, use the one I learned to program on: HP 3000C BASIC! Ah, the old days of using LA Unified’s HP BASIC system, and watching while other folks got into A020.

(meme) Meta Meme -> (meme) Website Meme
Well, I can’t think of much to post on (brain dead tonight), so I think I’ll do a meme. Tonight, I decided to do the metameme:
- Go to your friendfriends list (or your friends list, if you are a free user).
- Do the first meme or quiz that you find.
So, tonight we have a BBQ meme, prepared by have_inner_lady on my friendsfriends list (who has estherchaya as the common friend):
Which Website are You?
Commentary: This is interesting, as I have never been to metafilter. However, it does look like a fascinating website! And yes, I am involved in the community, like to share with my friends, am into pancakes, and like the color blue (and brown). However, I’m not into omphaloskepsis.
