Standing on the edge. Chill wind in your face and a stream beneath your feet. One step and you're taken over by the waves. Waves carrying the blinding bits of light on their tips. And the sound, the sound of it all, hurried by the wind, surrounds you, takes over you and fills you from tip to every toe. It brings fear mixed with fascination, with a distant thought of how small you are and yet how integral of a part you are of this whole. Makes you wonder, is this how love would be? (the real love, for how real our love can be in the world where most of our feelings are expressed through organized lighting?) Would it take you over just like this stream beneath your feet? You can see the other side of it and yet you feel that this sight ahead of you is so much bigger than you! Wave after wave, bits of light blinding the eye, mesmerizing, almost magical.
A provincial highway.

Programmers' religion
Among all the stress a large corporation like Morneay Sobeco inflicts on its Software Developers, the hope never dies and faith stays strong.
Taken from daily gmail talks:
Alex (A): remember how you wanted [my code to do something] but then you changed your mind?
Peter (P): uh huh
A: well, you're gonna have to change your mind again :)
P: why is that?
A: is my word not enough? :-o
P: Just like that huh? Take ur word for it, start calling u jesus too? :p
A: erm, st. mary would be better, jesus was a guy
P: oh shit! he was, but he had the hair going on
P: im okay with that, the fucking thing is slow as hell anyways. Yes mary, plz make the changes 0:-)
A: LMAO! Hmm... there WAS St. Alexandra, I guess I could go with that :)
P: u know, in order to become a st you got to die first. i think its something like that no?
A: no, there are a few requirements. like you have to turn water into wine or something like that
P: HELOOO! u can do that? <3 style="font-weight: bold;">A: FINE! So I'll be a Saint in Object Oriented religion :p
P: can i be the antichrist of that?
A: I don't think Carlos will like it
P: so carlos is like, one of the 12 deciples, doug would be jesus and sobeco god?
And there you have it. Some just say that their work is their religion. Now you have proof that it is true for Soft. Dev. folk!
