The trouble with reality is that you have to be capable of making your first cup of tea of the morning before you've had your first cup of tea of the morning.

A colleague maintains that coffee (he's talking instant) is at least easier to make, because you don't have to worry about taking the teabag out. I reckon this is wrong: with coffee you have to measure or judge the quantity of instant granules, which is much more difficult than counting up to one (as you would with a teabag).

All this is taking place in the work environment, where one is not easily able to bother with niceties like teapots or looseleaf tea.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] j4's recent post, I know now that there is a thing called Google Scribe. Which tries to second guess you as you type.

If you put in one word, then just begin accepting every auto-completion it offers you by hitting 'return', it generates rubbish )

There is a bit of technology called Bango. Someone at work has been looking at what it is and how it does it.

Colleague #1: How did you get on with Bongo?
Colleague #2: Do you mean Bango?
Colleague #3: Bingo!
Me: There was a womble called Bungo.
Colleague #4: No there wasn't!
Me: Yes there was!
C#4: Where in the world is called Bungo?
C#3: Do you mean Bungle?
C#4: Yes, are you thinking of Rainbow?
Me: No a womble... look, here on Wikipedia there's a picture of Bungo Womble.
C#4: Well, where is he named after?
Me: Wikipedia says he's named after a province in Japan...

Somewhere in there, the work part of the conversation gave up and died. Another success!

Otherly, have you appreciated your sysadmin today?
