			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a programmer sometimes has interesting side-effects on every-day situations.</p>
<p>Today, for instance, I was doing a lot of automation related programming, and some basic shell scripting. Only the shell scripting was really out of the ordinary. I arrived home after work, and found a nice frozen treat to hold me over until the movies tonite. It&#8217;s instructions called for defrosting before cooking. My first instinct was to somehow script the microwave to defrost for a time, then immediately begin cooking.</p>
<p>It was almost reactionary to the thought of having to come back to the kitchen to interact with the microwave a second time.</p>
<p>Perhaps I&#8217;ve been working too hard?</p>
