I’ve been reading Alan Greenspan’s memoir, so the phrase “creative destruction” has been on my mind a lot lately. I highly recommend it:
so if you have error catching code that logs the error and redirects the user to an error page, guess what happens if you screw up the URL to the error page?

OK, no one reads my blog, but I heard a story many years ago and I can’t find it anywhere (I googled as well as I know how). I’m hoping someone else might have heard it, and know where it came from. It went something like this:
There was a rabbi and he always looked terrified when he began to pray. Someone asked him why and he explained thusly; “When I pray I begin with the words ‘Lord, have mercy’, and I am terrified what may happen between the moment that I invoke the Lord’s name, and the moment I ask for mercy”.
From a column by Peggy Noonan:
“Religious conservatives know something’s wrong with us, that man’s a mess. They are not left dazed by the latest applications of this fact. “This just in—there’s a lot of sinning going on out there” is not a headline they’d understand to be news.”
