Journal Journal: Computer Programming Languages
I have spent years working with an assortment of programming languages - C, C++, Pascal/Delphi, Fortran, Ada, MS-DOS batch scripts (I didn't say all *good* languages), bash/csh scripts, SAS, PHP, Javascript...among others. Until recently I would have identified C++ as my "favorite" language. But that is changing.

I tried Fedora but I gave up on it when it repeatedly kernel-panicked on me. Wasn't fair, though - I was attempting to run it on a Sony laptop and Sony is notoriously Linux-unfriendly.
Bluestar is my first experience with Arch-based Linux. So far, so good...

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not
