Me: It's like Jon-Benet Ramsey's parents. "BE PRETTIER, DAMMIT!"
[ RED X WITH BZZZZZZZT! ]
Cow-orker: We should licence that tool-suite externally, get an extra
revenue stream going so we aren't dependent on venture capital.
Me: Yeah, I was hoping to get together some extra seed capital, but the
pimping just isn't panning out.
[ RED X WITH BZZZZZZZT! ]
Cow-orker: We need to make our site more "sticky", so that people will stay
there longer.
Me: But we're not a portal at all. Our site isn't going to be fun or create
a community, it's going to get boring work done faster. It's like a
prostate exam: Nobody involved enjoys it, just get it over with as soon as
possible.
[ RED X WITH BZZZZZZZT! ]
Boss: I wish the sales guys would turn off their cell phones for meetings.
Me: And keep their phones off the conference tables. It's like come ON,
keep it in your pants; if you really need a cock-substitute, go buy an SUV.

Seriously, I brought in a Dilbert cartoon dealing with the silly and
arbitrary nature of time sheets, and one of my cow-orkers copied it and

No, because the chickens will eat it! When I grow up, I'm going
to be an architect and I'm going to design lots of buildings,
specifying that they should be constructed out of chickens and
mortar. I am not sure what the total benefit will be of
chickens-and-mortar construction, but I imagine some of them
will be:
- soothing clucking sound to calm the buildings inhabitants
- FREE EGGS!
- free fertiliser
- less insects (chickens eat insects)
- environmentally friendly
SO! Who wants a nice building designed??

i've got quite a lot of email since my last post, and
yes, i admit, i did leave out a lot of important information.
this post will remedy that, i hope.
while the above barbecue plan would be ok if the status quo
had been maintained, a recent united nations resolution has
banned the barbecuing of any food items other than sausages.
the barbecuing of steaks, chops, shrimps (sorry roger, "prawns")
and other comestibles has been strictly verboten! the united
nations has decided in its infinite wisdom that since not
everybody in the world can afford steak, only sausages will
be allowed to be barbecued.
what this means for your backyard suburban barbecue, is that
rather than merely defending against a few dozen police, a
swat team and a couple of armoured cars, you will have to
withstand the full force of a united nations armoured
battalion of "peace keepers". hopefully their rules of
engagement will state that they may not initiate a firefight,
but are you going to risk having your barbecue disrupted by
a peace keeping force rolling through your back yard, squashing
your garden furniture with their main battle tanks, to keep
your steaks away from your hotplate? you must admit, that would
certainly be a bit of a dampener for your guests. especially
if colonel mike "the bastard" zeares arrives in his flame-thrower
tank.
so if you intend to cook steaks at your next barbecue soiree,
the setup you will need is diagrammed below. the above setup
is ok if you will just be barbecuing a few sausages and maybe
selling a bit of crack.
legend:
o = united nations "peace-keeping" force
x = barbed wire
* = land mine
u = mortar
<--< = machine gun
w = weapons pit
a = anti-armour crew (tow, sraaw, karl gustav etc)
d = anti-armour obstacle (trench, dragon's teeth etc)

ddd *** ddd *** ddd
a a a

^ ^
| |
^ ^
u--u
u u
u u
note how the wire and mines channel the peace-keeping force
into the fields of fire of the machine guns so that they will be
caught in a deadly crossfire. also, when the united nations
armour tries to get around the anti-tank obstacles, this is
when the anti-armour crews have to fire and move back to the
weapons pits. the machine guns and the riflemen in the pits
give covering fire to give the anti-armour d00ds some chance
of making it to the pits. but let's face it, your going to
lose a couple of these guys. it is best to use some of your
more expendable guests in this role, maybe somebody who
didn't bring any meat or booze? meanwhile, the 60mm mortars
in the bbq baseplate should direct fire onto the peace keepers
hung up on the wire and also the ones being marshalled for a
counter attack. use the 80mm mortars against any armoured vehicles
that the anti-armour d00ds may have missed, or who may be trying to
flank your position.
if there is any interest, i also have some plans for defending your
bbq against united nations air raids.
cheers

Actually, *you've* been trolled. Bill Newcomb was, in fact, the person

It has occurred to me that an experimental branch of gcc could be
named "EGCS" - the "Experimental GNU Compilation System". This would
almost certainly be misread as "EGGS". Potentially, this could
prepare the way for an off-topic thread in alt.religion.kibology.
Make sure not to tell Chris Costello; I hope he will say "I am the

With any luck, we will be able to convince him that he has

perhaps, but I started giggling while trying to find the right
version of glibc to upgrade to when a list of various egcs rpms showed up
in the rmpfind results. Possibly it was an aftereffect of the moderate
wackiness imparted to the rest of the day by having watched "Mujeres al

finals next week is not doing anything for my coherency.

Personally, I started laughing after I spent a few hours
foolishly trying to build gnome from source. I don't abide
rpms, so I was busily typing ./configure and then downloading
the next library that gnome complained about not finding.
It became abundantly clear that the gnome developers don't
actually want anyone to use their product, which is okay by
me since I only wanted the gnome-libs in order to build
gnapster.

BackBox is the only program ever to compile without changes on the
fucked-up Solaris boxen here at uni. Since then, I have faithfully used it
as my wm.
