But it seems that a new warfront is being fought in the sphere of soft drinks with Bing Soda, Microsoft Soda and Ubuntu Cola

A brilliant song about.. well.. writing in C.

Enjoy!

PS. Does anyone have the lyrics to this?

Update:

Thanks to tan_ce and Nixxy’s comments below, here are the lyrics!

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>When I find my code in tons of trouble, Friends and colleagues come to me, Speaking words of wisdom: “Write in C.”

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>As the deadline fast approaches, And the bugs are all that I can see, Somewhere, someone whispers: “Write in C.”

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>Write in C, write in C, Wtite in C, yeah, write in C. LISP is dead and buried, Write in C.

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>I used to write a lot of FORTRAN, For science it worked flawlessly. Try using it for graphics! Write in C.

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>If you’ve just spent nearly 30 hours Debugging some assembly, Soon you will be glad to Write in C.

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>Write in C, write in C, Write in C, yeah, write in C. BASIC is for wimps. Write in C.

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>Write in C, write in C, Write in C, oh, write in C. Pascal won’t quite cut it. Write in C.

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>Write in C, write in C, Write in C, yeah, write in C. Don’t even mention COBOL. Write in C.

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>And when the screen is fuzzy, And the editor is bugging me. I’m sick of ones and zeroes. Write in C.

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>A thousand people people swear that T.P. Seven is the one for me. I hate the word PROCEDURE, Write in C.

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>Write in C, write in C, Write in C, yeah, write in C. PL1 is 80’s, Write in C.

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>Write in C, write in C, Write in C, yeah, write in C. The government loves ADA, Write in C.

<

p style=”text-align: center;”>Write in C, write in C, Write in C, yeah, write in C. Java’s not quite there yet. Write in C.

We all know the ubuntu logo looks like: 3 arcs forming a circle. It looks like a Singapore organisation may actually be supportive of Ubuntu:

Oh let’s email them to see if they are using Ubuntu in their workplace. Oh wait, the URL to the site is http://www.fairemployment.sg/main.aspx :s

And running curl -I http://fairemployment.sg confirms the server type:

Maybe the Tripartite Centre for Fair Employment should change their logo

Or maybe it is time for a Singapore flavour of Ubuntu
