The humor of a dictionary…

Filed under: General, The Duh! File, Work Stories — John @ 11:34 pm

I was looking over some server logs, when I noticed a search that had been performed in our catalog that set me to laughing. No granted I realize I have no place to criticize ANYONE for spelling errors, but cut me some slack here, as I found this search quite funny…

Search Term: DICTIONARIE
Results: 0
Search Term: DICTIONARIE
Results: 0

At this point the user must have noticed the catalog tried to fix the spelling for them because the next search did have the word DICTIONARY spelled correctly. Again, I’m the last person who should point out spelling errors, but damn is that funny!

Out of touch…

Ok, I am totally out of touch with current gamer culture I guess. I just noticed the following in the marketing blurb for a high end graphics card.
“…watch your characters sweat with Shader Model 4.0.”

I can honestly say, I have never in my life thought that sweating looked cool. I can honestly say that I have no desire whatsoever to watch a human sweat, let alone a computer generated character.

Smash Brothers

Filed under: Fun & Games, General, Nintendo Wii — John @ 9:40 pm

I beat the Subspace Emissary on smash brothers brawl for the Wii. That was enjoyable. Now, I went through the normal brawl with Sonic, and had cartoon link come after me, but sadly his a tough cookie, and I lost… I’ll have to bone up on Sonics moves before I try for him again…
