Black iMage

I regard myself as the reincarnation of both Oscar Wilde and CS Lewis,
but without the sensual excesses of the former or the intellectual excesses of
the latter.
I have been known to dabble in the Black Arts of sodium borohydride
and methylmagnesium bromide, but now I study the arcane incantations of binary
trees, operator overloading and pointer dereferencing.
I have passed beyond idealism and cynicism. I know that hope is a
delusion and despair is an affectation. I know what the Sybil meant when she told
Plato that no man was wiser than Plato.
