An Algorithm for Parents

Here is something I sent to a friend whose wife just gave birth:
-----------------------------------------------------------

while (baby.isCrying()) 
{
    baby.Burp();
    if (!baby.isCrying())  
    {
        output("your baby had gas");
        exit;
    }

    if (baby.needsDiaperChange())
            baby.changeDiaper();

    if (!baby.isCrying())
    {
        output("your baby needed a change");
        exit;
    }
     
    baby.Cuddle();
    if (!baby.isCrying())
    {
        output("your baby needed a cuddle");
        exit;
    }

    baby.Feed();
    if (!baby.isCrying())
    {
        output("your baby was hungry");
        exit;
    }

    baby.holdAndRockGently();
    if (baby.isSleeping())
    {
        output("your baby was tired");
        exit;
    }
}

Update to Occupy X

One of the things I had mentioned in my previous post was that I wished the Occupy folks had more direction, and I did wish them to succeed, but I had no idea (nor did I believe did they) what success meant.

I found this article that goes one step further and clarifies what their goals SHOULD be:
