the world has turned and left me here

alan's brain v21.0

If I were to sell my brain as an Operating System, an (honest) advertisement would go something like this:

1. Doesn't multitask. It's about one thing, one thing at a time, mono e mono, a monomaniac I am. I have to turn off the radio sometimes when I'm driving.
2. Has no memory. I usually remember how to do things, but not the things themselves. All code and no data.
3. Slow loading time. Takes me forever to switch from doing one thing to another; inertia, you know.
4. Compile-time only. I have a compile-time brain, not a run-time brain. Were you to talk to me in person, you'd think I was a bumbling fool, not the writer of this spell-checked and spell-double-checked weblog you're reading right now.
