Þar til ég hef meiri tíma til að setja eitthvað hérna á síðuna hef ég ákveðið að setja inn gamlar færslur öðru hvoru. Svona það sem mér finnst hafa verið skemmtilegt og þess háttar. Eftirfarandi er síðan 21. nóvember 2003:
Hokay. Me and my friend, known as the Viking Bastard (being the bastard child of a Viking I presume), are both nerds. One must accept this as a fact. It's ineffable. It cannot be effed. Anyway, being such nerds we were wondering (as opposed to wandering which is entirely too energy consuming): How did computers get so immensely stuck in beige. What's up with that?
Board meeting:
"Well guys. We've got this co-puter thing now and apparently it's going to be used in offices. Got any ideas on how to brigthen the average office-worker's day?"
"I-"
"Shut up Dave. Anyone else?"
"How about the color beige?"
"By George I think he's got it! (ten points to the one who sees the film refference in that line)"
And this was in the 80's! Nothing was beige in the 80's! To quote the Viking Bastard: "..should've been pink or some weird shade of purple.." Hell yes! Why didn't that ever catch on!?! Always with the Star Trek grey. That's an actual shade of grey you know, the Star Trek one. Replied thus by VB: "I know, imagine my surprise when I planned to paint my room and ran into it. I asked the store clerk about it and he said: "Starrrek? Isn't that made out of coconuts?" It was then I thought would be a dandy time to laugh myself silly. Anyway: Miserable twits. It wasn't until IBM came along with the black concept, only I felt they never took it all the way. I mean, a black computer. Why not a black interface and / or message windows. Wouldn't this be wicked? "The program be fucked up. Now click 'OK' before I freeze this shit up, mutha****a."
Bah, enough for now. I consider this quite amusing. And maybe, just maybe in the not so distant future, I will keep mainly to writing in Icelandic.
