Roses are #ff0000

I saw this t-shirt, a geek look at the popular rhyme.

Bushisms

I’m seriously considering a separate page for him and his ilk. This from New Scientist today

According to a BBC online news item on 12 May, “After the hearing, Det. Con. David Ecuyer of Kent Police said that if the bomb had gone off it would have caused an explosion”

Anybody recognise the P of the USA saying “If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure”

Priorities

“Never let the big things in life distract you from focussing on the inconsequential”. Which means I should be working on my dissertation at the moment, not wasting my time here.

Recognise yourself? (I won’t name anybody, but…)

Popular demand (well, just Pan) forces me to post another joke. Here it is…

You know you are an Internet Junkie when…

  • When asked to give your address, your answer begins with http://
  • Instead of calling you to dinner, your spouse sends an e-mail.
  • You chat with your fingers, not your mouth.
  • You use Netscape 4.72, and you check every week whether version 4.73 was released.
  • You know the difference between Java and Javascript.
  • Most of your friends have an @ in their names.
  • In order to watch BBC you move to http://www.bbc.co.uk
  • On your business card the e-mail appears before the phone number.
  • You find yourself typing “com” after every period when using a word processor.com
  • You check your mail. It says “no new messages”. So you check it again.
  • You can perfectly imitate the sound pattern of your modem connecting to your ISP.
  • You can think of nineteen keystroke symbols that are far more clever than :-).
  • You are told about a new program, and you are disappointed to find that it is a TV program.
  • Not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your network address faster than your postal one.
  • You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop to check your e-mail on the way back to bed.
  • Russian joke

    Three people are in a prison camp, and decide to compare reasons for being sent there.

  • The first one says: “I was late for work, so I was arrested for sabotage.”
  • The second one says: “I was early, so I was arrested for spying.”
  • The third one says: “I was on time; I was arrested for buying a foreign watch off the black market.”
  • Unfortunately, that’s the way things are sometimes.

    “Quality in everything…”

    A certain company to whom I am attempting to apply online for a job has the tagline under their name that goes “Quality in everything we do”. Needless to say, their online application form doesn’t work….

    If only you knew…

    I really don’t think this is the place to be talking about it. But I can’t keep it inside me for any longer.
