Put your pens down @coldclimate CANDDi.com
There once was a man... @coldclimate CANDDi.com
And then there was a document... @coldclimate CANDDi.com
Which became a wiki... @coldclimate CANDDi.com
Which finally because a script @coldclimate CANDDi.com
Which mostly worked... @coldclimate CANDDi.com
And then the madness had to stop @coldclimate CANDDi.com
You wouldn’t treat code like this (hopefully) @coldclimate CANDDi.com
