+<p>HAKAWATHA</p>
+
+<p>with apologies to H.W. Longfellow</p>
+
+<p>First, he sat and faced the console<br />
+Faced the glowing, humming console<br />
+Typed his login at the keyboard<br />
+Typed his password (fourteen letters)<br />
+Waited till the system answered<br />
+Waited long and cursed its slowness<br />
+(Oh, that irritating slowness &mdash;<br />
+Like a mollusc with lumbago)<br />
+Waited for what seemed like hours<br />
+Till the operating system<br />
+Printed out the latest whinings<br />
+From the man called &ldquo;superuser&rdquo; &mdash;<br />
+Moanings that some third year students<br />
+Played adventure games at lunchtimes,<br />
+Moanings the the Disc was nearly<br />
+(VERY nearly) full to bursting,<br />
+Growling that he wouldn't take it<br />
+Screaming that he'd get his own back<br />
+By deleting peoples' discfiles.</p>
+
+<p>Next, came Hakawatha's &ldquo;fortune&rdquo;<br />
+(Didn't find it very funny)<br />
+Then from &ldquo;mailer&rdquo; took a letter<br />
+From a fellow network hacker<br />
+(Who had penetrated ARPA<br />
+All the way to Greenham Common &mdash;<br />
+Though his prowling through the filestore<br />
+Hadn't pleases the US Airforce &mdash;<br />
+So this friend, this network hacker,<br />
+Had to flee to Argentina<br />
+Where he works on simulations<br />
+Simulations of their army's<br />
+Capture of the Falkland Islands).</p>
+
+<p>Finally, my Hakawatha<br />
+Started to type in a program.<br />
+First, he thought for many minutes<br />
+What the Devil he should call it<br />
+So that later he'd remember<br />
+What it did and why he wrote it,<br />
+Thought for many, many minutes,<br />
+Thought too long, because the system<br />
+timed him out for doing nothing<br />
+Timed him out and warned him sternly<br />
+(Like an irate bus inspector<br />
+While you fumble for your ticket<br />
+When you could have SWORN you'd put it<br />
+Safely in an inside pocket).</p>
+
+<p>So the wretched Hakawatha<br />
+Had to start from the beginning<br />
+Type the login and the password &mdash;<br />
+Found the system even slower<br />
+Even slower than the first time<br />
+(Just as though some evil spirit<br />
+Had reprogrammed all of Unix<br />
+In the language LISP or OCCAM &mdash;<br />
+Which among the cognoscenti<br />
+Are not famed for running quickly<br />
+Rather for their ponderous slowness<br />
+Like a third year CS student<br />
+Trying to make out a theorem<br />
+Such as that of Church and Rosser).<br />
+After many, many minutes<br />
+After risking death from boredom<br />
+On the screen, my Hakawatha<br />
+Saw a message from the Network<br />
+Saying there were no free consoles,<br />
+Telling him to just forget it,<br />
+Telling him to come back later<br />
+(Say, two-thirty in the morning<br />
+Preferably a Sunday morning,<br />
+Sunday, in the long vacation).</p>
+
+<p>But at this, my Hakawatha<br />
+spoke in language full of fury:<br />
+&ldquo;I would rather write in COBOL<br />
+On a Sinclair ZX80!&rdquo;<br />
+Thus, the Gods heard Hakawatha<br />
+Heard the Thunder of his anger<br />
+Heard him damn the &ldquo;superuser&rdquo;<br />
+To a post in Social Science<br />
+Heard him damn the Network to be<br />
+Slowly boiled in caustic soda<br />
+Heard him curse the sort of people<br />
+Who use LISP instead of Ada<br />
+(Ada is a complex language<br />
+Copyright, Defence Department<br />
+It has got a formal syntax<br />
+Rather longer than the Bible<br />
+But semantically there's nothing<br />
+But informal chitter-chatter.<br />
+Reader! Use it at your peril!)</p>
+
+<p>And the Gods took pity on him<br />
+(Though they quite deplored the language<br />
+Quite deplored the filthy language<br />
+Utilised by Hakawatha)<br />
+Brought about a console failure<br />
+Of some wimp in Economics<br />
+Freed a line so he could use it<br />
+Made his screen display a message:<br />
+&ldquo;Sorry, we were only joking<br />
+Please log in and type your password<br />
+We'll be with you in a jiffy.&rdquo;</p>
+
+<p>Thus assuaged did Hakawatha<br />
+Type his login and his password<br />
+Read again the Jeremiads<br />
+Of the manic &ldquo;superuser&rdquo;<br />
+Read his fortune (still not funny)<br />
+And prepared to type his program.<br />
+Still, alas, my Hakawatha<br />
+had no notion what to call it<br />
+What to call this wretched program<br />
+So that he'd remember later<br />
+What it did and why he wrote it<br />
+But the dreaded timeout th=eatened<br />
+So to save himself from bother<br />
+He just called it &ldquo;program 7&rdquo;<br />
+Not a name that had much meaning<br />
+Signifying nearly nothing<br />
+&mdash; Though it has the real advantage<br />
+That it fits in with this metre)<br />
+Meaning to <tt>mv</tt> it later<br />
+When he'd though of something lYeditor he entered<br />
+Hakawatha then typed quickly<br />
+Very, very, VERY quickly<br />
+Swifter than a third-year student<br />
+Trying to avoid his tutor<br />
+Swifter than a &ldquo;Sun&rdquo; &lsquo;reporter&rsquo;<br />
+On the track of something smutty<br />
+Like an eagle flew his fingers<br />
+Only pausing several moments<br />
+While he taxed his recollection<br />
+For his algorithm's details<br />
+These he knew but only vaguely<br />
+(As the mists that on the sunrise<br />
+Cloak the lofty mountian summit<br />
+As the blur that s-nd-rs printers<br />
+Make instead of underlining<br />
+As the third year students' notio<br />n
+Of the proof of Turing's Theorem)</p>
+
+<p>These deliberations ended<br />
+Hakawatha typed yet faster<br />
+Missing quotes and semicolons<br />
+Missing many closing brackets<br />
+(Comments, these he left for later<br />
+Till he understood his program<br />
+Understood what he'd been doing)<br />
+Confident that the compiler<br />
+Would pick up the syntax errors<br />
+Thus, the program grew like wildfire<br />
+Like the spread of some contagious<br />
+Malady, like AIDS or BASIC<br />
+Or as miners ceased their striking<br />
+In the reign of Arthur Scargill.</p>
+
+<p>Hakawatha typed like fury<br />
+Clatter, clatter went the keyboard<br />
+Like a set of manic dentures<br />
+So the morning, so the lunchtime,<br />
+So the afternoon receded<br />
+Like the superuser's hairline<br />
+When beset by third year students<br />
+All intent to learn his password<br />
+Till at last the stars were twinkling<br />
+Till at last the pubs were open<br />
+Till Security, reminded<br />
+Tapped upon his door and warned him<br />
+&ldquo;Sorry, sir, but all late workers
+Have to sign the sign-in book, sir.&rdquo;</p>
+
+<p>Even then, my Hakawatha<br />
+Hardly heard what he was saying<br />
+Very red and glazed his eyes were<br />
+Cramped and aching were his fingers<br />
+Void and rumbling was his stomach<br />
+Cold and sweaty was his forehead<br />
+Warm and humming was the console<br />
+Like a cow with indigestion<br />
+Thanked Security and told him<br />
+That he'd do it &ldquo;in a minute&rdquo;<br />
+That he'd &ldquo;totally forgotten<br />
+All that bureaucratic nonsense<br />
+In the white-heat of creation&rdquo;<br />
+Asked to warn him if the building<br />
+Burnt down in the next few minutes<br />
+Thanked him for his &ldquo;kind attention&rdquo;</p>
+
+<p>Then, ignoring him completely,<br />
+Turned again and hit the keyboard<br />
+With his swift and able fingers<br />
+Till at last the night lay heavy<br />
+Till at last the pubs were closing<br />
+Till at last the job was finished.</p>
+
+<p>Next my Hakawatha summoned<br />
+The appropriate compiler<br />
+Asking it to take his program<br />
+And attempt its execution<br />
+Listing any syntax errors &mdash;<br />
+Should by any chance there be some &mdash;<br />
+In a file that he called &ldquo;errors&rdquo;<br />
+(Stunning was the inovation<br />
+Vouchsafed by this choice of naming)<br />
+Asked it please to run in background.</p>
+
+<p>Swiftly grew the file named &ldquo;errors&rdquo;<br />
+Till it seemed to grow much larger<br />
+Than the file called &ldquo;program 7&rdquo;<br />
+Larger was the file named &ldquo;errors&rdquo;<br />
+Larger than the largest mountain<br />
+Larger than the cost of Trident<br />
+Larger than the monstrous ego<br />
+Of that God whom men name D--kstr-<br />
+Larger even than the software<br />
+People call the Unix mailer<br />
+(Though, perhaps, exaggeration,<br />
+Or that licence named poetic<br />
+Leads me to commit an error<br />
+Since we know the Unix mailer<br />
+To be bigger and more faulty<br />
+Than the liner named Titanic)</p>
+
+<p>Worried now grew Hakawatha<br />
+Tride to kill the background process<br />
+Tried to bring it to the foreground<br />
+Tried to say to the compiler<br />
+&ldquo;That'll do, guv, for the moment&rdquo;<br />
+All unheedingly the process<br />
+Gobbled bytes like no-one's business<br />
+Till it seemed as though the system<br />
+Would collapse from sheer exhaustion<br />
+>From the quantity of page swops<br />
+Needed by this tireless process.</p>
+
+<p>Desperate grew Hakawatha<br />
+Vivid, yet again, his curses<br />
+Purpled the attendant shadows.<br />
+Thus the Gods heard Hakawatha<br />
+Listened in to the bad language<br />
+Thought that they had better stop it<br />
+Firmly told the Unix system<br />
+Firmly, to stop all its nonsense<br />
+Firmly, to abort the process.</p>
+
+<p>Now, this program had a pointer<br />

+Pointing sometimes to a REAL<br />
+Or an INTEGER or BOOLEAN<br />
+Pointing sometimes to a pointer<br />
+To ARRAY of FILE of RECORD<br />
+Each of which in turn had pointers<br />

+Pointed madly at each other<br />
+(Like a crowd of Sunday tabloids<br />
