The Internet is over

Well, it’s true. So sayeth Joey’s Python script in So what do I mean by “The internet is over”?:

Back when I worked at OpenCola, my friend and co-worker Chris Cummer worked some pretty late hours trying to get an application ready in time for the DefCon 8 hacker conference. During the very end of one of those all-nighters, Chris, in a sleep-derpived fit of giddiness checked and found that the domain name drinkyourownpee.com was still available. I remarked that when that domain name got taken, the internet would, in my humble opinion, be officially “over”

Now in my defence, because that seems like the sort of statement that could possibly be taken out of context, I must add: Joey and I weren’t the only ones in that conversation, so too was our CTO and it started out innocently enough as a conversation about the viability of hurling cows over a restaurant and into a stainless-steel industrial wood chipper.

    Very funny and enlightening. Keep up the sleep deprived giddiness, that’s when the best ideas come to light!

    Thanks! Sleep deprivation is indeed a double-edged motivator.
