if nothing else a amusing read. i find paticularly entertaining the

well considering i havent seen anything of consquence out of see-GIE sence
IRIX on MIPS its not there. im paticulary fully behind the concepts the
low-level programming is nolonger tought and that polymorphic (self
modifying) code is compleatly shunned. really MY core pet project (if i
get back to it, as work has overtake my pet project time)is pland to be
polymorphic. 

In short i think most of the "new-old skool" (as im shure WE all know, 
there was a day when optimiziung code was the norm (but alas, old is new)) 
programming is a "grassroots" and/or "undground" movment. so be prepard 
for it to be seen, but also be aware that it will feel small untill it is 
big enough that it can be nolonger ignored.
