While waiting for Gentoo to compile, I went browsing the web. I came across one of the coolest programming languages I've ever seen: Chef. That's just genius. I even started writing a little program using their Perl interpreter. But then I had to go over to my install, and when I turned back to my other PC I found my interest had waned somewhat. I'll get back to it one day. It'd be a perfect way to burn through an airplane flight, for instance.

Going back to the dub dub (my install isn't yet finished, it just needed my momentary attention), I came across a langauge I'd been meaning to learn for a long time now: Brainfuck. (Don't bag on me about the non-family-safe naming of the language; I didn't choose it, but it certainly is accurate.) I finally wrote my very first BF program:

>++++++[<+++++++++++>-]<.+++++++.+++..------------.--------------.+++++.---------.>+++[<+++++++++++>-]<.+++.-----------.

It doesn't do much, but now my head hurts. Time for bed.
