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!

When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
“Write in C.”

As the deadline fast approaches,
And the bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
“Write in C.”

Write in C, write in C,
Wtite in C, yeah, write in C.
LISP is dead and buried,
Write in C.

I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C.

If you’ve just spent nearly 30 hours
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.

Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, yeah, write in C.
BASIC is for wimps.
Write in C.

Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, oh, write in C.
Pascal won’t quite cut it.
Write in C.

Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, yeah, write in C.
Don’t even mention COBOL.
Write in C.

And when the screen is fuzzy,
And the editor is bugging me.
I’m sick of ones and zeroes.
Write in C.

A thousand people people swear that T.P.
Seven is the one for me.
I hate the word PROCEDURE,
Write in C.

Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, yeah, write in C.
PL1 is 80’s,
Write in C.

Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, yeah, write in C.
The government loves ADA,
Write in C.

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 :x

Or maybe it is time for a Singapore flavour of Ubuntu ;)
