Sung to the tune of
A Pirate Looks At Forty
by Jimmy Buffet
A Pirate Looks At Forty
by Jimmy Buffet
Mother, Mother Java,
I have heard your call.
Wanted to write cool software,
Since I was three feet tall.
You cast a pall,
You cast a pall.
Watched the men who wrote you,
Go from geeks to gods,
In your bytecode you hold the tortures
Non-programmers never see.
NPE.
NPE.
I have debugged now for over two weeks,
I printed and I stepped through and
I log4j-ed gigs.
But it's time to stop bitchin'
Time to start wishin'
Back to Nintendo again
Just a few rounds
Just a few rounds
Mother, Mother Java
After all the years I've found
Occupational hazard being
C++ is just not web-sound
Feel like I've drowned
I'm container-bound
I'm container-bound

Re: Mother, Mother Java
It took me a while to figure out which song this was. It was driving me crazy... maybe you should add that it's Jimmy Buffet's "A Pirate Looks at Forty". Or maybe I just did.
I liked it... although I could never figure out what the last line should be. I don't even understand half the song :-)

Driving you crazy was all part of the plan.<p>I finally came up with the last line, which had been driving <i>me</i> crazy. And <i>that</i> was <b>not</b> part of the plan.

See? I have no idea what that means!
But I'm happy for you that you came up with it.
This is fun - it's like public emailing. It's so unfair that a non-programming user can't do a carriage return simply because she doesn't know the "code".
