  1. i’ve had that on my wishlist for awhile, but have been concentrating my paltry funds on those silly a+ books (i hear your laughter!) instead. to be honest, because i am not too bright, i don’t always quite get what dear alfred is getting at, and consequently find julien torma, walter serner, roger shattuck, long-dead pyrrhonists and all of the wholesome television families to be much more accessable pataphysicians.

    1. Aaiieee. the A+ exams. Dude, just study more and get one of the MCS* or even better learn a unix. I doubled my salary in five years by getting good at the Unix. Anyway, A+ rant over. I hear the “Adaptive Exams” book is good for that.
      You’re right about wholesome television families. I remember reading a comparison of the life of Samuel Beckett and that of some baseball manager in which the author made the point: “Why write book after book about the meaningless drivel of existence when you can live it?”

      1. i don’t think i can turn an a+ cert into anything resembling a career; i just want to understand it all because i like it. i don’t think i’m intelligent enough to do what you’re doing, unfortunately.
