Ode to PureBasic

Ode to PureBasic

An experienced coder in C
And a promising coder-to-be
On the very same day
were inspired to say
PureBasic's the language for me

The experienced guy did some praxis
Said the other, my mins are all maxes
I've studied so much
on the pointers and such
What's this invalid memory access?

Then he went to the forum and said
In a personal message to Fred
My wife's always weeping
Cause I'm never sleeping
I can't make myself go to bed!

But you can blame the coffee as well:):)

On my behalf, I offer the excuse that if my wife let me play with her body more, I'd code less so it's all her fault!!!

And here I thought you meant the physics engine

How about a sing song?

Ode to code:
For I equals one to ten
of this band of merry men
One for all and all together
minds and brains within the nether

Bits and bytes and peeks and pokes
locals, globals and hungry blokes
Night after night after night
wound so close, stretched so tight.

Chorus:
Woe is me, woe am I
lost within the world
of SDK's and that damn API !

Woe is me, woe am I
lost within the world
of SDK's and that damn API !


I close my eyes and drift away
to a land draped in shades of grey
So many places, so many faces
reminds me of all the code
discarded on that empty road.

And like a whisper, like a scream
colder than ice, as dark as a dream
Bags packed and eyes of thunder
crimson stare, room asunder.

Just you dare! She mouthed,
Just you *ucking dare!

Woe is me, woe am I
lost within the world
of SDK's and that damn API !

Woe is me, woe am I
lost within the world
of SDK's and that damn API !


I didn't have much to say
didn't feel the need.
Didn't have the heart
to stand in line and pretend
that I hadn't lost my way
that I could still play a part.

A casual look, a stifled glance
pull the blinds, dim the lights
two steps back, three steps more.
There really is no chance
as I slip once again into the Purebasic trance.

Woe is me, woe am I
lost within the world
of SDK's and that damn API !

Woe is me, woe am I
lost within the world
of SDK's and that damn API !


And like so many twisted fates
within the shadow of the amber Gates
my life has been taken, the light truly forsaken
by the vulture of the feast
the tainted heart of the one true beast!

Woe is me, ...



Reckon I need to get out more!!!

[Fangbeast]

And here I thought I was the crazy one. I reckon you are battier than sparkie-bat:):):)

[DarkDragon]

I think you have too much time.

[Dare]

Not an ode!

Code: Select all

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        ; <-- get the rhythm
//%\\|//||%%\\%/\%%        ; <-- Terrific guitar!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        ; <-- Spanking beat!

Fire it up!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        ; <-- Is this fast enough!

Now ..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        ; <-- Too fast for you?


ARE.YOU.READY.FOR.THIS!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        ; <-- Okay! Hit it!


Those electrons are a-flowing
And the phosphor is a-glowing
Bots reporting in - and growing

  I'm so Phat!
  I'm so Phat!

Clocked up dual core is heating
On the keyboard ..
                .. fingers beating
Going cyber trick-or-treating!

  I'm so Phat!
  I.am.so.Phat!

Gerrout! Challenged by a duffer!
So unleash the old byte stuffer!
Ha! .. Gonna overflow your buffer!

  I'm so phat!
  I'm so phat!

LOL! You call yourself a hacker?
You just an ancient eight-bit slacker!
or a kiddie script-ing cracker!

  I'm so phat!
  I'm so phat!
    I am sooooooooooooooooooo Phat!
  I'm so Phat!
  I'm so Phat!

Now the bots are out hunting
And the relays are a-shunting
HA! That server sure is stunting

  I'm so Phat!
  I'm so Phat!
    D D O S PHAT!
  I'm so Phat!
  I'm so Phat!

Whoa!

Some suit barging through the doorway
  Gerrout! whazzup! Wazzat! wotsay?
On his badge ..
             .. is stamped
                              C
                              I
                              A

  I'm so Splat!
