Ahnoo Deekus - 21:34
Have I mentioned how much Mikal scares me
from time to time? If not, I should. Michael Still is a strange and scary
individual from time to time. Apart from things like fixing the gaping
problems with current DNS servers by implementing a
DNS
server in shell, the really scary thing (well for today at least, I am
sure we will learn new frightening things about Mikal tomorrow) is that he
pronounces all Acronyms. Rather than pronouncing the individual letters of most
acronyms like any
fish
hatchery employee would, Mikal pronounces the acronym how he sees fit.
ADSL became Adsil, SDK became Sehdek, etc. Obviously according to Mikal he
studies at and I work at "Ahnoo Deekus" (ANU
DCS), and we are working towards putting on a fantastic Elkae
(LCA) in April.
On another note, I have not tried the program out yet, however
Metafilter
had a link to
MoonEdit, a Multi Platform
(linux and windows) collaborative text editor. It works over the Internet with
slow links an such using multi player game style predictive movement
algorithms. Every user has their own cursor and text highlighted in a specific
colour. Emacs can do some of this, however I suspect this would be a lot
easier to use and understand (separate cursors, colour, etc).
