Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. – A.C.Clarke
A novice asked the master: “What is the true meaning of programming?”
The master replied: “Eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are fatigued, program when the moment is right.”
-The Zen of Programming
A novice asked the master, “Whenever I program on a new system I must learn a new language. Why are there no standards?”
The Master turned away. “The only true standard is Death,” he said.
-The Zen of Programming
The nice thing about standards is that there are so many different ones to choose from.

Once there was a wealthy but foolish man. When he saw the beautiful three-storied house of another man, he envied it and made up his mind to have one built just like it, thinking he was himself just as wealthy. He called a carpenter and ordered him to build it. The carpenter consented and began to construct the foundation, the first story, the second story, and then the third story. The wealthy man noticed this with irritation and said: – “I don’t want a foundation or a first story or a second story; I just want a beautiful third story. Build it quickly.
A foolish man always thinks only of results, and is impatient without the effort that is necessary to get good results. No good can be attained without proper effort, just as there can be no third story without the foundation and the first and second stories.
– Understanding Zen
At the Majik Bocks Institute we can help make sure that the foundation is solid so your third and fourth stories will be supported properly.
