IM IN UR HISTREE, DESTROYIN UR CRED

bindie-and-bonnie

My parents sent me the above photo. This was taken circa 1984.

The cat is a tabby/white chested cat we called Bindy. Way before the Irwins used that name. And the Mac 128K’s name was Bonny. Yes, the boxes of disks to the right of the photo are geniune Apple 3.5″ disks – each disk being worth about AU$7.00 at the time.

Cats, Computers – a combination that lives through the ages.

  2. ps: U CAN HAS TSHIRT AT store.lolcode.com
  3. To deconstruct and see the history of LOLCATS: Anil Dash
  4. The obvious wikipedia entry for LOLCATS
  5. LOLCATS takes the memes of the internet, standardizes them with funny pictures of cats. As LOLCATS is mainstream (ref: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21988724-2,00.html and ref: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/4862013.html) Oh Noes!
  6. LOLCODE: taking the language: syntax, grammar, vocabulary – but more importantly the memes of LOLCATS into an esoteric programming language Other esoteric programming languages include Var’aq, INTERCAL, and Omgrofl
  7. Mitch Denny theory: we’ll communicate in shortened phrases and memes as common understandings. eg: Star Trek:TNG episode: Darmok. Note Mitch Denny is Star Wars, not Star Trek – so this reference may be lost on Mitch.
  8. Examples:
    Stage 1: http://www.nickhodge.com/blog/archives/2025
    Stage 2: LOLCODE HAS LULZ http://forum.lolcode.com/viewtopic.php?id=304
    Stage 3: Seems that the language direction is dynamic, more like Javascript than C# 2.0 (eg: BUKKITS as arrays and slots; like )
  9. LOLCODE.net : compiles down to IL. Really big thanks to Joel Pobar for his expert comments and advice for all on LOLCODE.Net
  10. LOLCODE Specification is presently at 1.2 with lively discussion in the forums on lolcode. And an example of the community creating a language.
  11. U CAN HAS LOLCODE?

LOLCODE at TechEd 2007, Australia [Update 23rd July 2007]

lolcode tshirt

TechEd, from a newcomer’s perspective, needs more cowbell. http://twitter.com/atl introduced us all to the world’s newest programming language in May.

Based on a democratic yet technologically flawed vote on http://nickhodge.com/ popular opinion is that LOLCODE should be presented.

Therefore, Chuck has let me subvert the hierarchy and made a slot for me to present the following:

Thursday 9th August

12:45pm-1:15pm   NIck Hodge: LOLCODE. CAN HAS NEW .NET LANGUAGE. LOLCODE IZ IN UR TECHED. C U THERE. KTHXBAI

Just the thing to start the day, and shake off any residual hangover.

Not sure what I’ll get to cover in a mere 30 minutes. Maybe LOLCODE will get into the keynote for 2008?

I CAN HAS LOLCODE.COM T-SHIRT

As the LOLCATS meme goes TechEd; here one of my submissions:

techedlolcat

Now, in the interest of learning new programming languages: I purchased a LOLCODE.com T-shirt. What was interesting was the non-geeks looking at me strangely. People already think I am “out there”, and the LOLCODE t-shirt just proves it.

Before you start dis’in my new language of choice, there is a Visual Studio 2005 with syntax highlighting and Intellisense and a .Net version on the way.

So, my question to the developer community: do we need a special BOF LOLCODE session at TechEd 2007?
