I leave you, however, with the following offerings: ============================== What I Did for LOTS lyrics by Mark Adolph (Sung to the tune of "What I Did for Love" from A CHORUS LINE) Kiss your nights goodbye, The sleeping and the comfort. Wish me luck, the same to you. But I can't regret what I did for LOTS, What I did for LOTS. Look my job's alive, The output is appearing, But it's long overdue. And I won't forget what I did for LOTS, What I did for LOTS. Down, LOTS is always down. As we gain reknown, LOTS's what we'll remember. Kiss your nights goodbye, And point me toward a carel. We did what we had to do. Won't forget, can't regret what I did for LOTS, What I did for LOTS, What I did for LOTS. ============================== Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep At All lyrics by Mark Adolph (Apoligies to The Fifth Dimension) Last night I didn't get to sleep at all. (No, no) I sat at LOTS and hacked until the morning came, And though you're just a Helper, It's you I blame. Oh, last night I got to thinking maybe I (I, I) Should send you mail and just forget my foolish pride. I heard PS: accessing, I went cold inside. And last night I didn't get to sleep at all. I know it's not my fault, I did my best. God knows this Heath-19 could use a rest. But every line I type just fills me with such fright That I can't even hit RETURN. (RETURN) Oh, last night I didn't get to sleep at all. (No, no) The programs that I stole were just a waste of time. I couldn't close my eyes with Pascal on my mind. And last night I didn't get to sleep, Didn't get to sleep, No, I didn't get to sleep at all. ============================== Sunrise, Sunset (A TA's lament) lyrics by Mark Adolph Are these the novices I graded? Are these the programmers I trained? I haven't yet become a wizard, When did they? When did she get to be a hacker? When did he learn to code in FAIL? Wasn't it yesterday I taught them MAIL? Sunrise, sunset, Sunrise, sunset, Swiftly flow the nights. Lusers turn overnight to winners, Creating magic with a byte. Sunrise, sunset, Sunrise, sunset, Swiftly fly the years. One intro class following another, Laden with dread computer fears. What words of wisdom can I give them? How can I help to ease their way? Now they must learn from system crashes Day by day. They look so natural with junk food, Just like a true hacker should be. Is there enablement in store for me? Sunrise, sunset, Sunrise, sunset, Swiftly fly the years. One intro class following another, Laden with dread computer fears. -- Mark A. ...uw-beaver!ssc-vax!adolph
