This puts me in mind of Bob Howard, a computational demonologist in Charles
Stross's Laundry series. See
http://www.oddlyweirdfiction.com/2012/07/laundry-files-by-charles-stross.html
for some background. Stross's Halting State is also heavily
computer-geek-oriented.

Written antidotes?
Are those shell scripts that prevent something bad from reoccurring?
Incantations that should be pronounced before starting that really, really long
job without checkpointing?
Or are you really looking for the inappropriate singular of data?

Hello fellow Beowulfers
This is the point where your input is needed, particularly the old-timers
on the list (you know who you are) Here is what we are looking
for:
- written antidotes, stories, lessons, community, reflections about
the whole Beowulf era (and what it means today) These stories,
at a minimum, will be published on the web (1000 words or less)
