I got tagged by Matt for the book meme. It's kind of silly, but I so seldom participate in these kinds of things, and out of respect for my friendship with Matt, I'll play along.
Here are the rules:
- Find the book closest to you with at least 123 pages.
- Turn to page 123
- Find the fifth sentence
- Post the next three sentences
- Pass it on.
The nearest book: Tcl and the Tk Toolkit by John K. Ousterhout
If any other completion code occurs, do simply reflects that exception back to its caller.
When do reflects an error upward, it uses the -errorinfo option to return to make sure that a proper stack trace is available after the error. If that option were omitted, a fresh stack trace would be generated starting with do's error return; the stack trace would not indicate where in body the error occurred.
That was, uh, interesting? Revealing, perhaps. That's what you get when you compute in your home office full of tech books. Unfortunately, the massage therapy books were on the other side of the bookshelf.
Perhaps, what this exercise was shooting for was the book I'm currently reading/referencing right now: Run Less, Run Faster, which I mentioned in my previous post. (and will likely mention in my next post.) In THAT book, we get:
This cycle must be carefully structured so that the overload does not exhaust or injure. The recovery must be sufficient to permit the next overload workout.
Finding the appropriate balance of overload and recovery is essential for improvement.
Why don't you just tell me the last junk reading you did? And maybe the last movie you watched? You know -- brain candy.
Reading: Flight 4 a collection of short comics by different artists. Beautiful, interesting, thoughtful, often funny and great for today's short attention span.
Watching: The Frighteners Actually, pretty darned good, if you asked me. Although I guess you didn't.

I struggled with Rule number 5 as well. I almost never do those things, but I thought it was somewhat of a silly idea so I randomly named five people whose blogs I read.
Thanks for playing along. I like the idea of running faster by running less, but that assumes I do any running that doesn't involve chasing a Frisbee :)
