Library Study Time

⚠️ This post is more than five years old. Links may rot, opinions may change, and context might be missing. Proceed with cautious optimism.

Spending the afternoon, as usual, at the library in full-on-study/clearly-not-addicted-to-my-feeds-via-bloglines mode.

I usually glance around at what people are reading/studying/clearly-not-studying around me, and the glaring amusements today = a girl with her highlighter out and textbook open, unabashedly watching a full episode of Smallville on her laptop + the guy about 4 feet away from me right now with a book entitled XML and PHP. Now I admit to not knowing as much technical gibberish about how this blog/rss/aggregation thing works – but I do feel good knowing that the technology is mainline enough that some computer science major knows the language. Of course, I know nothing about this. New disclaimer: I Am Not A Programmer. (IANAP).

Yes, she’s still watching Smallville.

Update: PHP serves all sorts of current web-purposes, and almost seems comprehensible to me, which means it’s both more complicated and simpler than I thought. This is why I never got past DOS BASIC.
