The magical world of PHP

It’s tormenting me that’s what it is doing. What’s curious about all this web stuff, that no one besides the likes of massive computing clouds like Google will ever see, is the neverending battle against the whims of numerous systems all doing their own tasks and trying, trying ever so hard, to do the right thing.
And they fail. And when they fail it takes forever to figure out why or it takes rights you don’t have to fix the system. Which has happened to me in the past week three times.
Granted, I don’t know what I’m doing. That has to be said. There was a time in the distant past when I was a kind of computer god. Computers/IT/web/programming the whole shebang is not like a riding a bicycle. In fact, and in theory too, sometimes in practice just not in competition or in a bucket of gelatin, touching upon this world again has been quite a revelatory experience.
It’s all too easy for your mind to slide into senselessness and delusion. Anything relating to computers is sure to drive one mad and lead to possible insanity if not worse.
Sure they say insanity is bad but then they never tell you which version of insanity they’re talking about. The crazy rant down the street kind of crazy or the Buddhist oneness. Both are crazy but which kind of crazy would you prefer?
Surely the Buddha never had to deal with the arcanity of the back end of the web. If he did there definitely would have been more cursing and screaming in the Sutras.
