I would be unforgivably remiss if I failed to thank the folks who emailed me during the last few months, enquiring with concern about my whereabouts.
I'm sorry I didn't answer all of you, but that's how badly in the dumps I was.
But enough of that! Since we're all about the slashes today, I do have to admit I larffed quite a bit when I read a few weeks ago that Tim Berners-Lee admitted in an interview that the two slashes in the "http://" formulation in Web URLs do nothing -- nothing! -- but waste electrons.
It's like suddenly discovering the World Wide Web's vermiform appendix or something.
Think of all those pixels that could have been used in arguing Mac vs. PC!!
ReplyDeleteBerners-Lee, you are the New Century's GREATEST MONSTER!!
I am issuing a septwa against Sir Tim!

ReplyDeleteGreat to have you back, Neddie. Congratulations on your new gig. We need to get a drink before the year is out. I already spoke to the Stoic about this.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am sure glad you got ensconced in paying work, and that you are back on line.
ReplyDeleteNeddie, good to have you back. I missed your posts. Sorry to hear about your commute, but there aren't many good ones in these parts.
