I nearly fell off my chair when I read this one.

WE EXPECT FULL CHARACTER SET SUPPORT FOR EBCDIC AND A LARGE SUBSET
OF ASCII IN THE 1.34 RELEASE. TIHS WILL INCLUDE SUPPORT FOR SPECIAL CHR
SUCH AS THE EURO SYMBOL AND LOWER CASE LETTERS.

ROTFLMAO!

That's absolutely brilliant!  I particularly like the flashing
effect that simulates an old screen-at-time mode terminal (or
maybe a storage-scope terminal?), and the faint "burn-in" text
in the background.

april fools email backfires

2008-04-02 Thread Aaron Watters 
Grapevine says that an architect/bigot at a java/spring
shop sent out an April Fools email saying they had
decided to port everything to Django ASAP.

Of course the email was taken seriously and he
got a lot of positive feedback from line developers
and savvy users/managers that they thought it would be a great
idea; it's about time; gotta do something about this
mess...
