My hayfever is back from hell....I guess it's time for all the little fungae around me to shed their little spores. No matter what, I 'm a mess today...*sniff*....*ACHOO*...but I've been luvky this year, since it's the first majot hayfever attack, I experienced.

My sneezing woke me so early, I decided to surf a little before I start to make a litterature list for my thesis.
I went down laughing when I saw this (fictitious?) log (CM = Cloudmakers...originally a term covering the players in the first bigger ARG [Alternate Roleplaying Game] - The Beast. Notorious for their posting all kind of possible methods to discover the solution to a riddle)
(exerpt)
How many CMs does it take to change a lightbulb?
3. "Here's what we need to do: you, go get a ladder. You, go get a new light bulb" "Wait, what if we get a chair to stand on?"
7005: 7000 to change it and 5 to post it to CM-mod
"No, we need a ladder. OK, you try to climb up."
1 to do it, and 6000 to post that they did it before that one and didn't get the credit :)
...
"What if we have to turn the lightbulb the other way?"
Update "evan died in the dark"
This needs to be posted to CM as HUMOR:
"I can't see the lightbulb. Damn Macs."
hey now. no busting the mac kids
Is www.lightbulb.com a game site
"TRIVIA: lightbulb backwards is blubthgil!"
"Chatbot says, 'why do you want to change a lightbulb?' Maybe we shoouldn't change it!"

Hehehe...ITU's site got hacked the other night by a brazilian hacker group - the system administration must have some pretty red ears. Here's the result of their hack:

Even though it's a little funny to get the frontpage of an IT-University hacked, IT'S UNCOOL TO HACK!
