The truth about sweaters, apple, and internet

[01:15am] wnorrix: factoryjoe: y0
[01:15am] wnorrix: factoryjoe: nice work on the mozilla dmg
[01:15am] factoryjoe: what?
[01:15am] factoryjoe: omg
[01:16am] factoryjoe: yeah, i did that right after i invented teh internets
[01:16am] factoryjoe: i knew i needed a way to browse my internets
[01:16am] factoryjoe: so i built firefox
[01:16am] factoryjoe: but then i realized
[01:16am] factoryjoe: hey! there's nothing here!
[01:16am] factoryjoe: so i invented civicspace
[01:16am] wnorrix: agrr!
[01:16am] factoryjoe: right after that i think it was
[01:16am] factoryjoe: i built the engrish language
[01:16am] wnorrix: wonders what factoryjoe has been smoking
[01:16am] factoryjoe: so i had something to put into my newly minted CMS
[01:17am] factoryjoe: and there you have it
[01:17am] darix: chx: mine should be 12 or 14
[01:17am] factoryjoe: how i invented the internet, firefox and civicspace
[01:17am] chx: darix: I love mine especially because it's soooo small and lightweight.
[01:17am] factoryjoe: chx: your internet?
[01:17am] factoryjoe: is small and lightweight?
[01:17am] darix: hi factoryjoe
[01:17am] factoryjoe: i know -- i built it that way on purpose
[01:17am] factoryjoe: hi darix
[01:17am] chx: factoryjoe: LOL my notebook
[01:18am] factoryjoe: yes, in invented computers before i invented the internet
[01:18am] factoryjoe: i started with your laptop
[01:18am] factoryjoe: that's why it's small and lightweight
[01:18am] factoryjoe: i started with no features
[01:18am] factoryjoe: and then i got many requests
[01:18am] factoryjoe: to make it less usable and heavier
[01:18am] factoryjoe: that's when i found dell
[01:18am] factoryjoe: right around the same time i built netscape into firefox
[01:19am] factoryjoe: (boy was that a mistake)
[01:19am] wnorrix: but that still doesn't explain how apple started
[01:19am] wnorrix: did you start it?
[01:19am] factoryjoe: oh right
[01:19am] factoryjoe: well after the dell fiasco
[01:19am] factoryjoe: people wanted shiny gagdets
[01:19am] sepeck: factoryjoe: needs to cut back on the vodka this early in the morning
[01:19am] factoryjoe: that reflected their faces in
[01:19am] factoryjoe: so i started apple as a mirror manufacturer
[01:19am] wnorrix: ah
[01:19am] factoryjoe: people could gaze at themselves all day long
[01:20am] factoryjoe: they would carry the mirrors around everywhere
[01:20am] wnorrix: and when they found their face to ugly you decided to write a good looking os
[01:20am] factoryjoe: i only built in the dell laptops into the mirrors so people could bring the mirrors to work with them
[01:20am] factoryjoe: otherwise they'd get in trouble for not getting anything done all day
[01:20am] factoryjoe: wnorrix: this is true
[01:20am] wnorrix: nods
[01:20am] wnorrix: we believe you
[01:20am] factoryjoe: i had to write an OS from scratch because people didn't know engrish
[01:21am] factoryjoe: so my command line interface didn't work for controlling the mirrors
[01:21am] factoryjoe: people would try screaming at the mirrors
[01:21am] factoryjoe: and then they would make distorted faces
[01:21am] factoryjoe: but of course the mirrors didn't speak body language
[01:21am] factoryjoe: so i had to make something pretty that people could point this thing at the push on shiny buttons
[01:22am] factoryjoe: remember, when this started it was all about mirrors
[01:22am] wnorrix: and now its about buttons ?
[01:22am] factoryjoe: shiny buttons
[01:22am] sepeck: thought it was all about knit sweaters
[01:22am] factoryjoe: i had nothing to do with those
[01:22am] factoryjoe: needles are dangerous
[01:22am] wnorrix: my mom invented sweaters
[01:23am] factoryjoe: ah ha
[01:23am] factoryjoe: hence their excellent quality
[01:24am] sepeck: of needles are dangerous, my wife has them all over the place for her knitting
[01:24am] factoryjoe: i did, however, consult on the admin UI for sweaters
[01:24am] factoryjoe: i wanted a consistent admin UI for all sweaters
[01:24am] factoryjoe: i said
[01:24am] factoryjoe: "why do they always build new admin UIs every time someone wants a sweater?"
[01:24am] factoryjoe: "it's a waste of time"
[01:24am] factoryjoe: so we decided to standardize
[01:24am] factoryjoe: we ended up with two holes on all sides
[01:24am] factoryjoe: one on the top
[01:25am] factoryjoe: one on either left or right side
[01:25am] factoryjoe: and one big one on the bottom
[01:25am] wnorrix: haha
[01:25am] factoryjoe: that was my only contribution to sweaters
[01:25am] factoryjoe: speaking of
[01:25am] factoryjoe: wnorrix: did you ever get my admin theme to work?
