Once before a console dreary, while I programmed, weak and weary,
Over many a curious program which did TECO's buffer fill, --
While I pondered, nearly sleeping, suddenly there came a feeping,
As of something gently beeping, beeping with my console's bell.
"'Tis my DDT," I muttered, "feeping on my console's bell:
Once it feeped, and now is still."

is it just PHP
caught in the UNIX
no escape from the grasp of C

Init
just killed a proc
put my keyboard in my hand, kill -9, now it's dead
Init, bootup had just begun, but now I've gone and thrown it all away
Init... Ooh oohooh ooh
Didn't mean to make you segfault
if the system's not back again this time tomorrow.
fresh install, fresh install
as if nothing really matters
...And this is the point where I run out of ideas. Go read GLS (aka The Great Quux), he's better at this than me.
