A couple nights ago, I went to Cafeteria Bacteria, and ate three bagels (all of which had cream cheese and cucumbers on them). I went about my business for the rest of the night, and then I locked myself in my room, put on Servotron, and began to code. Throughout the last couple of days, I had been having problems isolating which conditional was misbehaving and why, hence causing some problems in writing to a database (MLDBM).

So I sat down, and proceeded to fix all the problems in less than five minutes (the same problems that the night before, I could not solve in five hours). After it was all done, I thought, "alright, where do I start in order to solve these problems?" but then I realized that they were already solved!

I don't understand it. It must have been some sort of Perl Related Zen. I don't remember even trying to fix my code. Wierd stuff.

So anyway, I was thinking about this particular incident, and decided that it must have been the bagels with cream cheese and cucumbers. I don't expect my fellow Monks to believe this without proof and change their diets just because redmist says that it's a good idea, so throughout the next week or so, I am going to eat only bagels with cream cheese and cucumbers and see what happens. It will be a stringent pSieNTiFrIC eXpeeRimenT (c). So I'll get back to you guys in a week or so, and until then stay Zen-like and Stay Low.
