click to playThis is the sing-song translation attributed to Robin Flowers. All this time I've been naive, Pangur Ban is quite a read.
Quoted:
So in peace our tasks we ply,
Pangur Ban, my cat and I;
In our arts we find our bliss,
I have mine, and he has his.
This was a much more enjoyable translation for me to read. Comparing the two translations (Heaney's to Flowers') offers fascinating reflections on style, bias, skill, taste, audience, etc.
Thanks, Carol!

I see MIT is not teaching intro to CS using Python! Wow (so long having been Lisp/Scheme based).
Looks like a fun course, and you can do most of it online here with access to lecture notes and assignments.

It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python programming language.
