    And why is this in the Computer News section?

    If you mean the drum & bass group, I'm a fan.
    If you mean clock pendulums, they just don't really get me going, sorry.

      Yeah, sure -- computer news!  Here's the scoop:  Since the original poster didn't put quotes or capitalization around "Pendulum," he's writing about an object rather than something named with a proper noun.  Therefore, he must be making indirect reference to the latest trend in putting pendulums to use in order to provide internal timing to central processing units and systems.

      I like pendulums. their.... so... mesmerizing. just going back and forth... back.... and... *YAWN*.

      I tried to go forward in time by attaching a second pendulum to a grandfather clock. Didn't work very well. my second attempt involved playing my "second Helping" album at triple speed, in the hopes that the seconds would go by faster. To no avail.

      My third attempt was a simple apparatus: minature grandfather clock, a ferret, and a donut box of 12 starved crazed weasels. while the weasels were trapped inside the small space containing the pendulum, and as I threw oranges at the clock face, I was supposed to simultaneously eat large amounts of sauerkraut. The plan failed however, because the oranges simply glanced off the clock face, the ferrets attacked each other, and the sauerkraut that I put ketchup on turned out to be rice crispies.So from my experiment with time travel, I ended up with bruised oranges, a smelly grandfather clock and cereal covered in ketchup. Back to the drawing board.
      I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
