1. Deaf-Blind Queer
2. “The Christ”? “I thought that Christ was equivalent to ‘The Crucified’ or ‘He who was crucified’ or just ‘crucified.’ […] As in: Jesus, Regional Manager. Jesus, FBI. Jesus, Actor/Director. Jesus, Christ. Give these people 2,000 years and they lose the comma”

13. EvilML: “I decided to create a rather ‘evil’ HTML document. Why evil? Because, to my knowledge, there isn’t a browser under the sun that creates a sensible rendition of this document.” And its entire source code is:

33. Slash out Internet Exploder! “A bad decision made many years ago continues to torment us today! In an attempt to cover up the resulting confusion, Internet Explorer automatically replaces blackslashes in URLs with forward slashes.

50. Pine flowed-text patch: “Pine 4.60 added support for flowed text a la RFC2646, which is great. If you want, you can tell it not to send flowed text…but there’s no way to tell it not to display flowed text. This patch adds that option”

In previous years, every bus and eetcarstray stop in the city had its own phone number. (In practice, some adjacent stops shared a number.) An automated voice (a human recording) would announce “Route… 501. Queen. Next vehicle in… 5 minutes. Following vehicle in… 13 minutes,” that sort of thing. Later, advertisements were embedded: “Pizza Pizza time is 6:38.” (Isn’t it always time for “tantilizing” Pizza Pizza?) At the time, virtually the entire 539-XXXX exchange was taken over for this purpose. (It was always odd to meet someone with a 539 phone number.)

The system was eventually shut down because it was not Y2K-compatible. Additionally, eating up the better part of 10,000 combinations contributed to number exhaust, which to this day is nothing remotely the problem we were warned it would be. (Rather like Y2K, but for different reasons.) Trust me, the online schedules are a flat-out disaster. There is no easy way to check a schedule anymore.

So: Quelle surprise to run across a bus stop with this cœlecanth of a decal still attached. Yes, the fonts are Souvenir and Quorum.

Yeah, man. “Tantilizing.”

Russell Smith, who surely must hate the fact he is the sole non-Italian heterosexualist male in Canada who projects a sense of style, covers the “purely literary” cipher known as l33tspeak. He cites his friend James Reid as a source, but did he perhaps forget to cite Wikipedia, too?

It’s a thorough, respectful piece arguing that smart people – those who spend all day reading online – are also smart enough to figure out entirely new orthographies. It’s not even clear that an encyclopedia is something you even have to cite, but it might have helped.
