Corazon C. Aquino, February 25, 1986:
At last, we are home. Let us remember the day, February 25, 1986; the time, nine in the evening; he occasion, the coming of freedom.
Freedom from twenty years of dictatorship, twenty years of oppression, hardship, repression, injustice, corruption, greed, waste and near despair — ended. Ended by a revolution of [...]
Because I have nothing new to add to what I’ve already said; they’re all still valid.
I wanted to try my hand at sorting, this time, because it’s something I never got around to doing in the past. So I quickly whipped up around ten thousand random integers, put it in a text file, and went to work. My first idea was to do a bubble sort, but the idea of [...]

PHP I can do just fine; and I’m still in awe of the possibilities with Python (I always end up thinking: whoa… you can do that in Python?! Is this a noob thing?
