Quotes
"JavaServer Faces + Japanese Error messages + Japanese Specification makes for one very confused Canadian code monkey."[1]
"Maybe God created the earth mid-stride 100 years ago. I mean, who would want to sit around and wait for billions of years for something interesting to happen. Here, God gets an exciting 50 years complete with an economic collapse and two world wars."[2]
