I was walking home and passed a little theatre - seems to be a Michael Moore film festival - they are playing his complete works about a block from the Place de Republic.

Perhaps I ought to go.


I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customer got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more.

New Jeezze Todd !!! - Marlowe will NOT like that !!!

He trashed Moore here a couple of weeks back. Identified him as a drunken evil enemy of the state who gives rotten performances in London.

Hmmmm - perhaps the best place to see him is while overseas.

Cheers Doug

(PS maybe we could send Marlowe a copy of Moore's 'Stupid White Men' book - it may not only be approproiate to him but it may trigger a complete mental meltdown (fit of apoplexy), all we need is his loss of control of the mouse hand).
