    There are a number of ";-)" ha ha only serious emotes on Fravias site. There are ways of searching for it but you will not find it through google. One disadvantageous element this generation is the ability to manually do things. We are being brought in to the darkness (without knowledge). With better and easier GUI's making you less and less use to working. "Build a system that even a fool can use and only a fool will use it."

    Meaning get to know how things work learn to program become great through learning.

    "A day without sunshine is like night."

    Here is a little story.
    In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

    “What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.

    “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied.

    “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky.

    “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.

    Minsky then shut his eyes.

    “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

    “So that the room will be empty.”

    At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

    I guess that when he said "manually do things" it was a figure of speech implying scripting :)
