p0: I can appreciate the emotional reaction - since I think
that all of us went through that phase of dealing with the
thought that jenda might no longer be in play - IF things
go 'really bad'. Such would be a blow to US as a community.
{ although I think it might be really harder on jenda }
p1: try to remember that this is neither the first
natural or man-made disaster to strike the international
community. And the perl community - as an 'internet' group
is an international community.
p2: some here may be able to recall when the tanks rolled
into Praha to 'liberate' it from the threat of the dupchek (sp)
regime
cf:
http://lists.village.virginia.edu/lists_archive/sixties-l.old/0409.html
so this is not our first time around the barrel for 'crisis in praha'...
{ I rather doubt that we have that many here who remember the days
when it became an independent republic... but, you never know }
p3: relax, calm down
remember that one of the important duties in life
is to know when to send in the clowns
Comedy is a Dangerous Art Form - which is why we do
not attempt to write programs that attempt it...

One of our nice colleagues and regulars at perl.beginners takes the effort to report about the precarious condition in his (home?) town, (which you undoubtly have witnessed from your comfortable tv-couch), and all you think about is making jokes. Shame on you. Jenda, I hope the water stops rising soon (although the latest news doesn't seem that optimistic), and that everything stays well for you and your loved ones. -- felix -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[..] well it's not like you have to be Franz Kafka to figure it out you go to bed with a copy of the 3rd Edition of programming perl, and you wake up in the morning hoping to still be the same person or had all the information done a bit of metamorphosis Or maybe you are reading all about the apocalypse and where perl6 is going and you notice that much of the dialog looks like out takes from 'the trial' ciao drieux --- http://www.levity.com/corduroy/kafka.htm will help those who are not as clear on why - or who kafka was - and may not be able to see the clear and intuitively obvious connection between kafka-eqsue and Perl all that Lord of the Rings stuff is all a part of the SINISTER KONSPIRKII to cover up the true literary roots of perl Now Even Mother Nature is trying to get in on the Plot to Cover it all Up -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

> flooded. See you > all when the > water is down :-) > Jenda The water is still going up, but the power is still on in our office. I did not go to work yesterday because they said noone should go to the center, but I could have. It seems we are safe here, It's strange how important a tiny height difference can become. I've never noticed the Narodni trida (street) actually does go up a little and that we are a bit higher here still. The rescue system seems to work perfectly so I do not expect there to be any casualties in Prague, but we are all afraid for the houses and bridges. I don't know if you've heard, but there is a boat just above the Charles bridge, there are three tanks/armored cars trying to hold it. if the steel wire ropes break we've HAD a bridge. I hope all is well for everybody and hope the water stops uprising at last. Later, Jenda === [EMAIL PROTECTED] == http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz == There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
