What’s New on Shlomi Fish’s Homepage
Here are the recent updates for Shlomi Fish’s Homepage. The first item of note is that I implemented an automated test suite for the site, with a test for lack of trailing whitespace, and a spell checking test (powered by Text::Hunspell and Hunspell). The many problems pointed by these checkers were fixed, resulting in a very large patch to review this time.
Aside from the spelling corrections, here are the items of interest:
The meta section now has a section navigation menu.
I added the incomplete geek parody song “I’m the Real Tim Toady”:
May I have your attention, please?
May I have your attention, please?
Will the real Tim Toady please match up?
I repeat: will the real Tim Toady please match up?
We’re going to have two problems here.
jnoakes’ page about Graduate Student Jokes, which I have enjoyed, and which has gone offline, has been restored on the site:
You know you’re a grad student when…
- you can identify universities by their internet domains.
- you are constantly looking for a thesis in novels.
- you have difficulty reading anything that doesn't have footnotes.
- you understand jokes about Foucault.
- the concept of free time scares you.
- you consider caffeine to be a major food group.
- you've ever brought books with you on vacation and actually studied.
- Saturday nights spent studying no longer seem weird.
A page with a List of Text Processing Tools has been added to the software resources sub-section.
There are new additions to the Aphorisms and quotes collection:
If it isn’t in my E-mail, it doesn’t exist. And if the whole world says one thing and E-mail says another, Email will conquer
(Said to me in a private conversation by an Israeli Linux enthusiast.)
There are also some new quotes in the Chuck Norris Facts page:
Chuck Norris is the reason why the Knights who until Recently Said “Ni”, are no longer saying “Ni”.
Finally, there are some new fortune cookies:
Enjoy!
