I received the sweetest Valentine's Day poem this morning from a dear friend.

[Heidi]

Here it is:

Roses are #ff0000
Violets are #0000ff
All my base
Are belong to you.

:loveya: + :rofl:

[soleft]

1. I get the last two lines

Never saw reference to the first two before. What is that? But cute regardless of my ignorance.

[DS1]

4. the hex code for red, and blue

green would be 00ff00

f = 16, the highest possible value

RGB

[soleft]

6. Thanks

I just sent this to my three favorite computer ner...er...experts.

12. Here's something else you can pass on to the coders in your circle.

Code Monkey
by Jonathan Coulton

Code Monkey get up, get coffee
Code Monkey go to job
Code Monkey have boring meeting
With boring manager Rob

Rob say Code Monkey very diligent
But his output stink
His code not functional or elegant
What do Code Monkey think?

Code Monkey think maybe manager want to write goddamn login page himself
Code Monkey not say it out loud
Code Monkey not crazy, just proud

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
Big, warm, fuzzy, secret heart
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you

Code Monkey hang around at front desk
Tell you sweater look nice
Code Monkey offer buy you soda
Bring you cup, bring you ice

You say no thank you for the soda, cuz
Soda make you fat
Anyway you busy with the telephone
No time for chat

Code Monkey have long walk back to cubicle
He sit down pretend to work
Code Monkey not thinking so straight
Code Monkey not feeling so great

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
Big, warm, fuzzy, secret heart
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you... a lot

Code Monkey have every reason
To get out this place
Code Monkey just keep on working
See a soft pretty face

Much rather wake up eat a coffee cake
Take bath, take nap
This job fulfilling in creative way
Such a load of crap

Code Monkey think some day he have everything, even pretty girl like you
Code Monkey just waiting for now
Code Monkey say someday, somehow...

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
Big, warm, fuzzy, secret heart
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you

9. Actually f=15

1111 binary

Out of 16 hex characters, 0-f, f is the 16th but has a value of 15.

10. Have a great day Heidi and CMW!

hope you are doing/did something fun today!


:hi:

[Heidi]

11. TIGEREYE!!!!!

I thought of you today! My tigereye mala broke (poor-quality string, apparently) and my mother-in-law re-strung it for me. Every time I see my favorite stone, I think of you. :hug:

P.S. Not doing anything fun today. Made two Aargau carrot cakes this morning for a business luncheon I'm host(ess)ing tomorrow and forgot to put in the grated carrots -- main ingredient. ACK! Guess what I spent this afternoon remaking? :weep:

[tigereye]

14. that's so sweet! I think it is such a cool stone!

I'm glad your mala is back on course.


I had a tigereye ring, but I caught it on something, and I need to have it fixed. :(




we were making a veggie spinach with artichokes casserole last week, and I forgot the spinach at the store, despite my having it on my list.


:crazy:
