YALog( @"Begin" );

Why YALog( @"Boring" ); ?

Translation: Write "Boring" in the log file.

Inspiration: A long time ago, in a far away (from here) place, I wrote some debugging functions named DBLog(). DBLog is short for Debug and Log. Other programmers have written similar code in their careers.... NSLog() is the name of the function that Apple (NeXT) has implemented for doing this in Cocoa (their Objective-C-based development environment). The name is also a play on yacc, Yet Another Compiler Compiler, a Unix tool. Combining these ideas, the fact that many blogs are boring to others, and how some have described my life, we get: YALog( @"Boring" );
