CleverNickName's Journal: Translating the Best. Email. EVAR!

Over at bOING bOING I picked up this link to a script that translates English to 12-year-old-AOLer.

I ran that e-mail from my last entry through it, and it makes much more sense now.

[AntiFreeze]

Post a "first post!"

And yes, it's very scary that we're even capable of reading 12 year old AOLer.

It looks better that way.

But personally i'm looking forward to the sequel: When you run it through the Swedish Chef translator *G*

Original: Fair and balanced is not what you are. The real host of Screen Savers never busted on Windows like you have. I agree Linux has its place but man you just lost fan when you busted harsh on Windows. You should realize people write viruses for fame and what OS is the best to get fame on is Windows. You should only hope that Linux doesn't become the main OS of choice for the desktop someday because it will be attacked in the same way. All I got to say is open your mind man but you were really negative on that show towards others and too pro Linux. If you were the permanent host I'd stop watching that show fairly quickly.

I agree Linux 'as its place but man yer just lost fan wen yer nicked 'arsh on Windows. Yer should realize blokes write viruses for fame and wot OS is the Mae West to cop fame on is Windows. Right. Yer should only 'ope that Linux don't become the main OS of choice for the desktop someday because it will be attacked in the same way. All I got ter say is open yor mind man but yer were right negative on that show towards uvvers and too pro Linux. If yer were the permanent 'ost I'd put the mockers on wotchin' that show fairly quickly.

I thought it was a good episode.

[gottabeme]

For the record, I enjoyed the episode. It was nice to see someone who strongly advocates Linux and dislikes Windows hosting the show. I think Pat and Leo both lean that way, but they aren't as free to express it as you are, since they're paid to run a show that helps Windows users. And the part at the end with that e-mail from the 1337h@x0r who didn't know...ah...how to do something simple...I can't remember exactly what, but it was funny, and you weren't afraid to say it. Oh well, anyway, they should g

Hey Wil,

How come you don't let posting in your blog?

I ask because I think one of the better aspects of blogs is the two way communication with the author. You can talk to us, and we can talk to you.

We miss talking to you, Wil.

You can comment in the forums (soapbox) area of Wil's site -- there's just not a convenient link on each individual journal entry anymore.

If I remember correctly, he took it off/never had it because he doesn't want to put up with the crapflooding that you can see here.

Ouch. My Brain...

If you know who sent that, then please let me know where to fin him so that I can beat the stupid out of him.
