If a Programmer Screams in a Construction Site...

... and the pile driving is so loud that nobody can hear it, is he still frustrated?

Or is it possible that his frustration drove the pile?

Hmmm... that might be the makings for a better super hero than "The Shocker" or even "Captain Greasy"!

Ooo Ooo....

This reminded me of the time we still had our Honeywell DPS-8 with 6-GB disk drums.....

New building going in nearby....piles being driven into the ground....

Legacy 60's and 70's drum technology....with internal platters.....every time those piles
drove into the ground we bit our nails hoping we wouldn't lose a disk.....

By the way....Firefox hates this Comment box.....I can't see the right edge!
