April Fools for the Geeks

I noticed a Google app that is meant to be a joke this morning. Let's see who can find it!

 

I want to build one

i heard about this on one of my podcasts: http://buglabs.net/

it's like a computer lego system (not to be confused with the lego robot thing).

what was this?

 

The google joke (that was removed after the first) was an option in your gmail that allows you to type out your e-mail and then send it at a later time for you automatically. A beta website and a fake application was posted. Pretty amusing, well for my I.T. comedy needs. :lol:

 

you mean gmail time? the e-flux capacitor thing?

 

I don't remember it being called specifically called gmail time but the application did appear on the 1st and disappeared the following day.

 

It's "Gmail Custom Time" and it's friken hilarious.

how do you edit with cat? that should have been awk or something.

 

Yup...

cat myfile | sed s/hi/bye/g > newfile

 

my point exactly. sed's the editor not cat.

and emacs rulez :bang:

 

I lived in vi for about 10 years...
Even though I don't use it very much anymore...
I can close my eyes and get back there very quick

 

we have this psuedo-unix on our mainframe. it has vi, but i had gotten used to vim. i had to learn hjkl for the first time like a month ago. i don't use the arrows in vim anymore.

Who's got the right-of-way: uphillers, downhillers or some guy in a tank?

Anyone want to build a half size T-34?

That kid has too much money for a student.

 

In SD, we just drive our tanks around on the freeway.
