'Twas midnight, and the UNIX hacks

Did gyre and gimble in their cave

All mimsy was the CS-VAX

And Cory raths outgrave.

"Beware the software rot, my son!

The faults that bite, the jobs that thrash!

Beware the broken pipe, and shun

The frumious system crash!"

I think maybe that’s a lens Dodgson is polishing.

There are also a number of photos taken by Dodgson, including this one of the Rosetti family:

Okay, with actor Barry Brigg playing Gabriel. Hey, this is in Lichfield, I’ve been in that cathedral. Pamela found this one.
