Web Zen brings us fundamentalists vs. show tunes: "If you all don’t lower your voices and cease calling me Satan, I will have to sing show tunes."

I'm trying to write Mac apps in Common Lisp without spending any money. "Hello World" mostly eludes me at the moment. Why do I find myself with these aggravating, time consuming hobbies?

I ask you this: What better way to combat wee-hour sleeplessness than to truck on into work and get a bunch of stuff done before everyone else starts to arrive and generate distractions? Turns out this is a terrible idea, because at some point between last summer, when my company was bought by a BigCo, and now, when I'm sitting like a chump in East Cambridge without access to my own office, the access card system must have been qualitatively altered; this never used to be a problem. My one consolation is that I can walk across the street to a vacant mall that contains a Dunkin Donuts (for coffee) and an Apple store (closed, but with Wi-Fi and a bench outside it) to stay warm. I'm forced to endure "hits" of the 1980's over the mall's P.A. system. What a pain in the ass.
