    Who needs content when you have such a relaxing color scheme?

    Wow, I like this look. Although it doesn't really work..it still looks great! Still better than G4's website.

    Cool lyrics Randall! Can I use 'em for a song? :)

    1 year, 1 month ago by fabsh.

  • merlyn

    heh. Feel free. I come up with Weird-Al-style parodies without even thinking about it. I do it all the time with the right inspiration. If you ever want the complete lyrics about a popular topic to the tune of a popular song, just ask. :)

    1 year, 1 month ago by merlyn.

  • fabsh

    Cool. I'll probably take you up on that one... :)

  • KevanV

    I liked Randall's lyrics too... They sounded kinda familiar too...

    I just ran Tidy on twit.tv

    Apparently the HTML element is missing, but required. and the site content appears to looks like HTML 3.2

    But apart from that... there are no errors :)

    Thanks Randall but I was trying NOT to sing the real version ;)

    We could have a whole routine of playing rock'n'roll and country songs with programming lyrics... I think there's definitely a market there... :D

    Look for the Paul Anka song! Now that takes me back, not to go off topic here. :)

    Sometimes, it's hard to be a sysop; giving all your late nights to just one LAN; You'll have bad pings; And it'll have downtime; Doing things that just aren't in the plan...

    But if you really need this job you'll do it; Even though, it's hard to comprehend; And if you're up to it; Oh keep on getting through it; Cuz after all, it's under your command!

    Stand by your LAN; Give it the fiber to spin through; And all the A/C will help too; When the server room's too warm.

    Stand by your LAN; And connect the world right to it; Keep downloading all the pr0n you caaaa-an....

    Stand ... by ... your... LAN!

    Oh My God! I am almost dying here! And I thought my thread was funny. This definitely takes the cake. Randal...hang onto the words. You really should be writing for Weird Al.

    Just trying to demonstrate what I said earlier... I can take a melody and topic and compose parodies nearly instantly.

    bra-vo... very, very good :)

  • merlyn

    Found lyrics to "born to run", now looking for an mp3 so I can remember how the tune goes...

    1 year, 1 month ago by merlyn.

  • fabsh

    Here you go, multiple versions: http://www.brucespringsteen.net/songs/Bo...

    Shame on you for not knowing the tune, though. ;)

    1 year, 1 month ago by fabsh.

  • merlyn

    I know it, just reminding myself. Oh, I'm listening now. Got a real inspiration. By daytime, the guy is doing boring code-monkey coding, but he longs to be free to code Perl for the next web 2.0 winner... Oooh oooh. this'll take time to write the whole song though.

    if you would change the simple but wonderful design from white to black, we could save some power on our MacBook (Pro)'s :-)

    I think Mr.Laporte was framed. Since we have found out that Mr. Laporte has a clone of himself, and this was the evil clone who was making the iPhone make that annoying noise in his office yesterday. Plus the real Leo Laporte is getting a new toupee. (Old TSS joke)

    Ok all all the forward URL's (eg. http://www.twit.tv/TWIT) work... so it's seemingly just an issue with the starting URL.

    I tried going to an individual webcast episode and it was all white. The individual start pages seem to load fine.

    ...and we were singing: Bye-bye TWiT (dot) TV good-bye. Mr.Leo broke his server, lost his files on CacheFly. And good o'l TWiTs were clicking into the night, saying "This new homepage seems a bit white. This new homepage is way too bright".

    I'm sure Leo's working hard on it... I'm guessing from what we can see it's a PHP Error or issue with the rewrite rules on Drupal.
