Ah yes, of course, more fakery.

Nope, it's a real video, nothing with a Socthman in a hat can possibly be faked. I remember it from my yoof.

Oh for sure, I am not saying the video is a fake, of course the Shamen were a notable band of the period, but that I am sure Nagy would have something to say about it, in a thoroughly fake way, in the same way he has something to say about ecstasy, in a fake way.

What? And if he'd replier "thirty-seven" you'd have just believed it?
And so what? surely having a different persona online is allowed?
or are you a wanker in real life too?

I think the phrase is "do not feed the troll".

Oh look, a spammer calling someone a troll.

Hey, if you like fake go for it, I am not going to stop you, but don't be surprised if it gets pointed out.

No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.
Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.
He'll fly his astral plane,
Takes you trips around the bay,
Brings you back the same day,
Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary."

Yesterday, an itern brought the newest interm by to introduce him to poeople in the area. When I looked at the new intern, probably an electrical engineer based on the area we work in, I thought, "He sure looks like a geek!"
Sometime later, I realized that is how I appeared to people when I started working commercially 30 some years ago. It was an indcustrial evnironment and my first assignment had me spending 3 months in a new area doing checkout.
One of the contractors left for a few months, and, upon his return, commented to someone, "What happened to Tim? When I left, he was meek and mild, now he acts like he has spiked hair!".
What was your introduction to the commerical world like?

If it helps, it involved beer...

It involved an automated chicken feeder and...

You know you were never to speak of that again!

Yeah I know but no one pressed charges and statute of limitations has run out so I can finally can speak of it, but not divulge what actually happened.

So that's how Chicken McNuggetsTM were invented...

Old McDonald + McChicken + McWoodChipper = McNuggets That's all I'm saying.

The wonderful whacky world of RFID, with systems (Alien I think...) that would some times crash leave the radio switched on and melt the laminate desk covering (I did use them as coffee heaters once that happened!), VB6 (don't use .NET as it doesn't work properly...) and others, learned a lot that has come in useful since that experience (mostly how to look busy, writing a CP article for one!), Code Project but I lost/forgot my account details...

Came to work as a EE, I knew (or thought I knew) C and FORTRAN at uni, but was more of an analog hardware person. Very quickly, I was introduced to the wonderful world of assembler and tiny circuitry, the glasses became thicker, the hair shorter, patience for other people shorter....great, now I'm depressed.

Well, obviously, I knew everything - I was young, and it took a few years to beat that out of me...
Mind you, by the time I'd had that beaten out of me, I did know pretty much everything about what we were doing, so it could be said that it didn't have a lot of effect. I must have been a complete ass-hat to work with.

The fellow showing me around for my first intern job took me to the cafeteria where a lady comes up to him and say "Bob, I didn't recognize you with your cloths on!".
Turns out the company had a canoeing outing the weekend before where they met.

When I was on my co-op job I tended to wear a lab coat with floppy discs and serial cables and adapters in the pockets. It was very convenient.
I recall one colleague who kept calling me a geek (in a flirtatious sort of way) and I'd respond "I'm not a geek, I'm a nerd".
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
