Cash'n'Carrion We're absolutely delighted to announce that pretty well the full range of TechnoDepot shirts has been replenished and the Cash'n'Carrion warehouse is filled to bursting with top-quality apparel.
The TechnoDepot collection encompasses various snappy designs, including Bug? It’s an undocumented feature, Mac OSX. I’ve upped my standards. Up yours and the tell-it-like-it-is RTFM.
Also available is the Show me the way to go 127.0.0.1 - an instant best-seller despite a certain amount of controversy as to what it actually means. Reader Adrian Jackson's response was typical:
"Show me the way to go localhost"? "Wherever I lay my hat, that's my localhost"? Perhaps I'm missing something here, but I don't find that particularly amusing, and I've never come across 'home' used to refer to a loopback network connection.
There is, however, no place like ~. Perhaps someone should make a T-shirt about that...
Maybe they should, but it won't be us - or TechnoDepot for that matter. When we attempted to contact them for an explanation as to this outrage, we were told that they had just legged it down the fire escape and into the nearest pub. For shame.
Still, the first batch of Show me the way to go 127.0.0.1 sold out in two days. Get one of the new delivery while you can. ®
