My last two weeks were very intense. 12 hour days, a 30 hour coding session, a week in Boston with various very cool nerds, a ride in an Aston Martin, a tour of the Infinite Corridor. Will post more when I’ll have more time.
Hemmed by Book Nerds or But It’s Literature!
Nobbin or Boffin? Scratching My Noggin.
“Microsoft MCSEs are bogus boffins, say Canadian engineers”.
I like the word “boffin”. I learned it from “Junkyard Wars” (which wacky Brits call “Scrapheap Challenge”). Heh heh. Boffin. At first I thought it was of those monsters from an old game “Digger”. But no, they were called Nobbin and Hobbin.
Kind of like Pacman ghosts are called Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde.
Oh yeah, did you know that Hoser engineers are really, really cool? They even have this special iron ring which they get in a so called Kipling Ceremony or The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer. I can see how they can get pissed of at the E in MCSE.
