[I'm told that John and I are the headliners at this one, though frankly nothing else about this e-vite suggests that. But in any case, those of you who are generally wary of a 4-reader deal can be assured I go on either 1st or 2nd, at least that's what Christopher told me. In any case, I hear Christopher puts on a great evening regardless of the number of performers.
John Reed is the author of Snowball's Chance, a parodic sequel to Orwell's Animal Farm which is creating some controversy on the other side of the pond. Sharon Mesmer's a friend of mine who is quite funny and should be great. I have no idea who Blue is, unless he has something to do with that NY performance art group... sure, bet no one's made that joke before.]

Curator's Note:
Quotes from a favorite book relevant to a view of art, literature, the
making of poetry, however speaking to the building of buildings:
"The search which we make for this quality, in our own lives, is the central
search of any person, and the crux of any individual person's story. It is
the search for those moments and situations when we are most alive."
Opening to Chapter 3 ON BEING ALIVE of "The Timeless Way of Building" by
Christopher Alexander
"And when a building has this fire, then it becomes a part of nature. Like
ocean waves, or blades of grass, its parts are governed by the endless play
of repetition and variety, created in the presence of the fact that all
things pass. This is quality itself."
Opening to Chapter 8 THE QUALITY ITSELF of "The Timeless Way of Building" by
Christopher Alexander
Join us Tuesday Feb. 4th 7-9p for a fine group of readers, some good

A variable leads a simple life, full of activity but quite short (measured in nanoseconds, usually). It all begins when the program finds a variable declaration, and a variable is born into the world of the executing program. There are two possible places where the variable might live, but we will venture into that a little later.

Posted by: Chroferus at January 18, 2004 09:56 PMThese secret identities serve a variety of purposes, and they help us to understand how variables work. In this lesson, we'll be writing a little less code than we've done in previous articles, but we'll be taking a detailed look at how variables live and work.
