Sorry Teresa, When It Comes To Geekiness, You Can’t Even See My Level
January 4, 2007
Here’s a recent instant messenger conversation of mine. Kirk-Picard debates are nice, but they are jock-talk compared to having conversation in computer code.
walker6o9: System.out.println("hi");
walker6o9: boolean areYouClimbingLater;
walker6o9: if(areYouClimbingLater)
{
input time;
}
Stoic Bob: public void parseGreeting(Boolean amClimbing, Date time) {
Stoic Bob: System.out.println("hello");
Stoic Bob: amClimbing = new Boolean(true);
Stoic Bob: time = new Date("01/04/2006 6:00 PM PST");
Stoic Bob: throw new ninjaAttackException();
Stoic Bob: }
walker6o9: private void later(tony){
boolean haveANiceDay = true;
boolean seeYouLater = true;
if (tony == cool){
String ("You rock, gotta go");
}
Now that’s EPIC geekiness.
Hahahahahaha, I’ve /done/ that before. I’ve also had in person conversations in code before…
“pound include left bracket stdio dot h right bracket
void main left paren right paren
left squirrelly brace
printf left paren quote Hello, how are you? quote right paren semicolon
gets left paren response right paren semicolon
right squirrelly brace
Yeah…me and my friend sometimes got the weirdest looks. Of course we’d also have conversations that consisted of the words “Narf” and “Fnord”…that scared people though.
now you’re just showing off!
