WebMaster's Prayer

And an Ode to Alpha

I was perusing the 'net today, looking for links back to this blog. While I didn't find what I was looking for, I did find the Webmaster's Prayer and an Ode to Alpha. Ah, fond memories; I remember struggling with that animated GIF of Homer Simpson, trying to get the size down to something reasonable.

My servers are still Digital.

For posterity's sake, here's my Ode to Alpha, penned shortly after the demise of the Alpha processor was reported.

There once was a 'puter named Alpha,
Of which none could boast to be faster,
'til sadly one day
marketing blundered away
Alpha to the computer hereafter.
