  • people whose opinions matter

    I was watching the recorded episodes of Simpsons today. In one of the scenes, the children of Springfield decide that they are going to spill out all the secrets of the adults. So they start to plan how they can do it.

    Lisa : Let us publish this information on the Internet
    Bart : No, we have to get to the people whose opinion really matter

  • yahoo whoring

    Since everyone has been busy drinking the Google kool-aid and simply going in an orgasm over the Google Gulp, I will take the road less travelled and point out the Yahoo Slacker here.

  • You will not understand the below paragraph until you are well versed in geek culture :-) . I am keeping it here, since it is another Frequently quoted quotation

    After seven and a half million years of pondering the question, Deep Thought provides the answer: "forty-two". "Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. "Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?" "I checked it very thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is."

  • the meaning of moo

    One of the FAQ on the IRC channel (#linux-india at irc://freenode) is "What is the meaning of moo". I have added a page to my main website where I will try to answer that question.

  • strange coding practises

    Fair warning to all, heavy geek joke ahead. While reading the comp.lang.php Usenet group, I came across this exchange

    ctrl+alt+delete writes: I am interested in learning PHP programming and am wondering what IDE people use to work on their projects.

    Chung Leong replies to ctrl+alt+delete: I don't use an IDE at all. For my PHP projects, I get assistance from my teacher, Ms Anne Sullivan. All my coding is done by rubbing her palm and touching her elbow.

    R. Rajesh Jeba Anbiah clarifies Chung Leong's answer : Chung's doctrines are sometimes too global and sometimes too local to grasp.

  • sending a geek on a guilt trip

    One of the methods used by normal humans to send other (normal humans) on the "guilt trip" is to use the cliche "every time you do THIS or THAT god kills a kitten. Please, think of the kittens..." For an even bigger guilt-trip, you can use "every time you do THIS , somewhere a kitten gets run over by a Monster truck. given not ten minutes ago to the five year old girl standing by the side of the road, spattered, red, and crying as she fumbles with her inhaler" (Thanks to Brian Bilbrey, member of The Answer Gang for the picturesque description )

    Frankly, the whole killing of the kitten part leaves me rather unmoved. Having lots of free time on my hand lately, I thought of things that would send me on a guilt trip.

    • every time you do THAT, your email id gets harvested by Mr. Joseph Adisa of Lagos, Nigeria
    • every time you do THAT, Microsoft issues ten critical updates
    • every time you do THAT, some clueless bastard says "Linux has less viruses because it is less popular " (my veins are throbbing just writing this)
    • every time you do THAT, some luser says "IE is better than Firefox since IE supports advanced features like ActiveX"
    • every time you do THAT, someone starts building a new Linux distro
    I know I am not normal :-)
