Hi everyone!
A friend of mine in the US has had manufactured a quantity of magic 8-balls
designed specifically for Tech Support and SysAdmin decisions. For those
who haven't seen one of these in action, it's basically like an eight ball
from pool, with 1000(2) in place of the '8' and a clear section on the
reverse side. Inside is a mystical device for answering your technical
questions - you ask it a question (such as "What should I do with this
guy's 500MB mail file?"), shake it, and an answer appears in the window
("/dev/null"). Other answers, sure to be useful in a host of situations,
include "42", "Reboot", "Caffeine", "Let me call you back", "Plug it in"
and "Ping 127.0.0.1". I think we'll all find it an essential piece of our
decision-making process in the future.
I'm wanting to see if I can get a bulk shipment - 36 of them is going to
cost around $450AUD plus shipping, so at a rough guess I'd imagine they're
going to cost in the $15 - $20 range each. I can also arrange to send them
around the country if people are prepared to pay for shipping costs for
that as well.
Let me know if you're interested by personal email (no need to flood the
list with replies) and I'll see what I can do.
Sorry for the blatant advertising, but these things look too cool to miss
out on!
Have fun,
Paul
