Everyone who knows me will know that I am marginally prejudiced against people with expensive cars (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus etc.), but not entirely without cause.
One of my niggles (pet hates if you will) about them is their unnecessarily dazzling headlights. I just saw the advert shown on a website and made me think of the title of this blog post…
It confuses my why Lexus thinks these Bi-xenon headlights are at all a good thing? Surely blinding your fellow road users so much that they crash is a bad thing? Aren’t Xenon headlights the ones that look blue from certain angles as well, confusing me that there is police ahead?
So yeah – if you want to blind your fellow users, buy a Lexus. Or a BMW. Or a Mercedes. Or similar car.
I’m sure you’ve all heard of Talk Like A Pirate Day, and here’s my rather geeky idea for another day. It’s Talk Like Apache Day!
Basically, you talk like an HTTP server (not specifically Apache, but “Apache” was similar to “A pirate”…). If you need help, here are some responses you can give people to confuse them.
Other ideas could be borne from this, such as Talk Like an MTA Day, or Talk Like SSH Day. I expect the later would have to be encrypted though…
Just imagine the conversation anyway:
You: Hi James, how are you?
Me: 200 OK
You: What?
Me: 304 Not Modified
You: I don’t understand…
Me: 304 Not Modified
You: You’re such an idiot…
Me: 400 Bad Request
The Register’s recent article regarding iPhone Nano rumours seem to have caused the XKSN website to intermittently fail.
This is proof there are far too many iPhone Users.
Funny, but sort of worrying… I found this on Geekologie, and they got it from someone evidently named Claire.
