yow

Not that it's really important, but I notice that M-x yow
always returns the same quotation. Is that a bug, or am
I doing it wrong?

The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the
point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.
The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.

Saaremaa Tume, Left Hand Milk Stout, and Slaapmutske Tripel,

You're lucky you didn't get both the logs from the debugging
runs from my latest number-crunching code, and also some
veeeeery off-topic statements destined for IRC.

I need to work out which window's which, and when I've done
that, I'll get the post to the right newsgroup.

Sorry!

Saaremaa Tume, Left Hand Milk Stout,
Coincidentally, I bought one of those recently. Haven't opened it yet;
I've been drinking bocks lately, of course. What's it like? Does it
really taste of milk?

Is it possible to get more OT?
Now where are KT and CBF when you need them???

At the festival in Amsterdam, I hope.
No, at home. I don't drink and drive, and I'd have to to get home.

Not at all. The 'milk' in the name is because some of the
fermentable sugars in the wort were lactose. Normal brewing
yeast can't ferment that, so it remains in the final beer.
I see.
Is it possible to get more OT?
Yes (though, admittedly, not much): beer is good for when the
programming has got too much to handle :-)
