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. :)
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.
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.
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)
...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".

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

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

I'm suspecting that this will be the most commented on Jaiku update ever.

Nahh... Even Leo can't top the Feeble Force thread. Even if he very feebly kills his site...

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

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

Here you go, multiple versions: http://www.brucespringsteen.net/songs/Bo...
Shame on you for not knowing the tune, though. ;)

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.

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.

Great Leo!!!... get into the twit site by going to one of the podcast pages such as http://twit.tv/sn.
