About to go to a client to convince them to use TOPLink instead of their
own home-grown persistence framework.  To relax for the meeting, I wrote
these Haikus:

Why is my program
Not working? The code looks good.
Classpaths confuse me.

Made for physicists'
papers, not applications:
DHTML.

Before Client and
Server, now Web. We always
Need panaceas.

Information is
so difficult to capture.
Change comes so quickly.

Rube Goldberg lives in
Most coders. Why roll your own?
TOPLink is better.

T3, localhost
port seven thousand and one.
Fuck BEA WebLogic.

EJB: so slow.
Everyone wants to use it.
Just like XML.

Fast Company says:
"It's cool." They should know. FC
should know these things, right?
