Talking to a Goldfish

Filed under: Uncategorized — Hrishikesh @ 23:50

[In case this post repeats, please drop me a mail. Blogger ate my earlier post. Naughty server, no doughnuts for you.]
 
Customary Note: Sorry about me not posting more frequently. Really. I wanted to. But then, the lazy module got hold of me, and well, you know the rest.
 
==========
 
Anyway, moving on: I’ve read somewhere about the conversations that go on between two goldfishes:
 
Goldfish1 (GF1): Hey there!
Goldfish2 (GF2): Hello! How do you do?
GF1: Fine, fine.
GF2: Hiya!
GF1: Oh, hello! Pleasant day, isn’t it?
GF2: Yes, very much.
GF1: Hola!
GF2: Hey, how do you do?
GF1: Very good, indeed!
GF2: Ahoy there!
GF1: Hey, nice to meet you.
 
You do get the idea by now, don’t you? I wonder how the goldfishes ever get any of their jobs done.
 
So, that’s one conversation I’ve been having. This yahoo! id I am chatting with goes hi and hello every second sentence. Probably because my response is delayed slightly more than 30 seconds, effectively resetting whatever two-bit internal counter they are using to store the time elapsed since I spoke to it last.
 
=============
 
And yes, this one is for all those who want tech-support from me:
 
One, you came to me, because I’m the expert.
Two, read one again.
Three, yes, read one again and again. Loop n times. Then loop (n+1) times. And then some more. How about one more time? Surely, you can do it once more…
 
So if you don’t want to follow what I’m telling you, don’t expect me to be all nice about it. There’s only so much on the frustrometer that you can go.

  • Well, that happened because I wanted to keep it neutral. And not drop hints.

    Also, it let to me calling that person it. Which is also not correct.
  • "This yahoo! id I am chatting with"
    I always thought people chatted with other people(or chatbots), not with ids. Fascinating turn of phrase...
