Your mouse a ghost or something?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:38 (twenty years ago)

I also own no camera. Haven't done for years.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

Your camera a ghost or something?

― matlewis (matlewis), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

OK, I've filled my profile out, I've answered lots of questions, I'm getting matches in the 70-75% range, I've left it a day or so, and an impressive total of ZERO email. Clearly either:

a) it's crap
b) nobody likes me
c) both of the above.

My money's on C, but I could be wrong.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 16:32 (twenty years ago)

Ahh, it's fine. I haven't had any mail in a while. It's weird, though, because sometimes I'll get several messages all at once.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 20:43 (twenty years ago)

I am caffypeach. woo me, ILE!

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

Best prize ever!!

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 22:43 (twenty years ago)

Hoax or not? She just messaged me and I had the most confusing conversation ever.

"I don't really read fiction (does Harry Potter count as fiction?)"

HARRY'S 4 RILZ BRO

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 18 August 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

favourite films:

... Matrix (obviously) ...

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 18 August 2005 15:02 (twenty years ago)

but all I really want is to get married to a well-dressed intellectual, and live in a stable environment in which to bring up able children.

THESE WORDS ALL PERFECETLY DESCRIBE MY PERSONALITY AND MY PROFILE.

Maybe in between learning how to run science by herself she didn't bother learning how to read.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 18 August 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

live in a stable environment

she's a horse!

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 18 August 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

Warning: will consume your brain during sex, stick insect style.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 18 August 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

She favours intellectual stimulation and yet reads and watches that drivel? No wonder you're confused. I would be too.

― Ian Riese-Moraine: a casualty of social estrangement. (Eastern Mantra), Thursday, 18 August 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

seems like a particularly awkward geeky profile to me. i don't think that most ppl with the offhand knowledge to pull off a joke profile like that would also have the subtlety to make the "jokes" fall so pitch-perfect flat.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 18 August 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

This alteration has occured so that people reading my profile will no-longer become intimidated.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 28 August 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)

She speaks LISP. She may not be intimidating, but she's likely to be boring.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 28 August 2005 20:47 (twenty years ago)

Girls who speak LISP: Dud.
Girls who speak with a lisp: Classic.

― nickn (nickn), Sunday, 28 August 2005 23:10 (twenty years ago)

Er, what's LISP?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 29 August 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

A programming language, much hated by me when I studied it (badly).

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 29 August 2005 03:55 (twenty years ago)

LISP looks very intimidating to me: (it's written (like this (with (brackets (around everything))) to show (structure)))

I'm on OKCupid's Stranger Arranger list this week. Matched up with someone who, according to their main comparison, is only a 13% match. What's that all about then?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Monday, 29 August 2005 06:22 (twenty years ago)

You can write a LISP interpreter in LISP! So went the lecturer, who had a stupid moustache, and probably didn't get it very often and probably should consider registering on OKC.

I got tired of OKC, really, people saw my profile and said I was cute (like insane people), and then (like sane people) ignored my responses, thuogh that might be due to my non-committal responses along the lines of "yeah, so what?"

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 29 August 2005 06:50 (twenty years ago)

Hey, I've still not had *any* responses to my profile at all.

Surely "you can write an X interpreter (or compiler) in X!" is true for *any* half-decent computer language?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Monday, 29 August 2005 07:01 (twenty years ago)

Yes, the point is that LISP is so devoid of excitement, that that was the only thing he could say about it.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 29 August 2005 07:07 (twenty years ago)

To be fair, LISP was once the height of CS technology, when it was first invented - which was back in the 1950s.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Monday, 29 August 2005 07:33 (twenty years ago)

I got bored, so I completely rewrote my profile, though I'm not sure if that'll get me any more messages...

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 19:01 (twenty years ago)

I still can't find ken. why.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 21:40 (twenty years ago)

wow i got 3 WOOs on the cutter profile that i didn't know about until now. woo!

(all from ilx alas!)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 22:44 (twenty years ago)

See, this is one of the main things stopping me from doing this. The idea that random people (and my friends) would be laughing at my profile and discussing me on the interweb.

Ah well, maybe I would do it if I had a picture of myself. Which I don't. So never mind. Unless I can use that hott one that Ned took where you can't see my face!

― Luminiferous Aether (kate), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:12 (twenty years ago)

B-b-b-but... you were HAWT in your previous profile!

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:21 (twenty years ago)

It was a very VERY old picture. I no longer look like that.

― Luminiferous Aether (kate), Thursday, 1 September 2005 09:22 (twenty years ago)

http://www.okcupid.com/profile?tuid=944540583871180286

There's about... 721 things that are great about this profile.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Saturday, 3 September 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

Wow, I match 88% with Tuomas!

I'm a devout Atheist. I think organized religion is a load of shit, but if people want to believe in it, then I won’t stand in their way. I love most kinds of music, from rock to country, but I absolutely abhor Rap (cRap) and R'n'B (Rubbish'n'Bollocks). I support Newcastle United Football Club and enjoy watching Speedway and going Fishing.

― ken c (ken c), Sunday, 4 September 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

hands off dom she's mine!

― ken c (ken c), Sunday, 4 September 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

haha

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 4 September 2005 15:44 (twenty years ago)

For the second week running, I'm on the stranger-arranger list, matched with a completely random person for NO APPARENT REASON. This week it's a random Russian with an almost-completely-blank profile: http://www.okcupid.com/profile?tuid=10664789873970473477

Incidentally, I have still had nobody at all try to contact me through OKC, and no replies to any messages I've sent out through it. Bah.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Sunday, 4 September 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

I still use OKC!

I like the first message on this thread. No new thread, etc.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Sunday, 4 September 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

Is it wrong to post links to/pictures of boys on OKC that you fancy?

Not that anyone on ILX will understand my tastes, but still.

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:19 (twenty years ago)

i'm sure we'll understand your taste! (as it's already been explained in some detail!)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:37 (twenty years ago)

Fire away.

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Friday, 16 September 2005 18:21 (twenty years ago)

go for it!

I'm going to be having a crack at this again tonight. Once I've figured out this new linux installation and maybe watched some more comic strip eps.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 16 September 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

three months pass...

Haha, so this will look totally lame tomorrow, but I was drunk and bored and this is what I came up with: the what kinda ILX0r are you test.

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=16973236765018718872

It's rub, but putting the pictures in there was fun!

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 02:07 (twenty years ago)

I am "The Cheerful Regular". Fair nuff.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 02:46 (twenty years ago)

I liked that! I am a cheerful regular too.

The first post on this thread is vintage Latin.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 02:57 (twenty years ago)

Old ILM
You scored 42% pwnedness! haha, you've "completed" the "test". once upon a time you used smileys and had threads where you candidly suggested that there might be something to this timbaland fellow, but years of ilxing have left you bitter and gauche. hell, you don't even bother to use caps. sometimes you think that the only reason you still "post" to "ILX" is spite, but really, you're our grumpy grandad, and you love us as if we were your own retarded grandchildren.
