| My brother Shelley found it was a place | |
| Much like the city of London. I | |
| Who live in Los Angeles and not in London | |
| Find, on thinking about Hell, that it must be | |
| Still more like Los Angeles. | |

| As someone whose poems suggest a certain fascination with machines, why haven't you migrated from typewriter to computer? | |
| LES MURRAY | |
| The computer isn't a machine, it's a traffic with spirits. I'm no good with keyboards and I'm private enough not to want everything I write or miswrite being open to surveillance forever in the akashic record of cyberspace. _Writing on the computer is a bit like sculpture: You sculpt the poem on the screen. Or it's a kind of patchwork; then all the patches disappear and you've got something where all the elaboration and work that has gone into it has vanished._ The poem looks as if it's been published, but old mistakes still come up ghostlike from behind the process. | |

Five or six years ago I was working on an essay about refactoring CSS. I didn't do that, but I did find these notes while working on something new. Hope they're useful! —Dean
p7 "When you find you have to add a feature to a program, and the program's code is not structured in a convenient way to add the feature, first refactor the program to make it easy to add the feature, then add the feature."
