I should HONE up my linguistic skills, particularly my vocabulary of four-letter words.

I have been out in search the single LONE word that fits into this story most perfectly.

n5bb · 18 May 2013, 06:01 AM

I should just use the first word which comes to mind and be DONE with it.

This method DOES not always work for me....

David · 20 May 2013, 12:09 AM

If a method does not work you should put it in your DESK and find another one

Shall we all write ODES to the apostrophe? It's important to capture it's mood in a touching antistrophe.

Bill, Bill, don't try to be a poet!

Better drink some moet!!

Lets write some CODE!

Go back to electronic mode!!

David · 20 May 2013, 03:07 PM

Though I can COPE with code, I am currently contemplating between crazy ants or fire ants - which is best I wonder

janusz · 20 May 2013, 04:42 PM

Writing code used to be one of CORE skills required in my job, but this was looong time ago...

n5bb · 20 May 2013, 10:29 PM

Yes, I also used to PORE over code listings, searching for elusive bugs.

David · 25 May 2013, 02:29 PM

In pre internet days, I used to pore over the LORE of the url, just trying to get my old DEC, Micro PDP 11/23 to do a backup

janusz · 25 May 2013, 02:49 PM

I'd LOVE to learn more about the format & use of URLs in the pre-internet days

Not wanting to LOSE out here, I guess I will admit that this was not a url, and was just an old, basic, pre internet, 'command line'

We geeks are never at a LOSS to explain the details of computer control. Some of us have even used computers requiring control statements on punched cards or without operating systems. Are you ready for the big nerdy events today (May 25)?
