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.

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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

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

Er, what's LISP?

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

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

I still can't find ken. why.

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

hands off dom she's mine!

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

haha

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

Fire away.

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

I am "The Cheerful Regular". Fair nuff.

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

*hangs head in shame*

― miss michael learned (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 03:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Cheerful Regularr?

Oh my! You're always around on ILX chat sessions, you go to FAPs when
you can, your picture's often up on those "what do you look like?"
threads, and there's more than one TITTWIS post with your name on it.
In the middle of all of ILX's crazed flame wars and dripping sarcasm,
you never stop treating it as, you know, just a pleasant message board.
Which is sort of awesome, and might just mean you're a "young Ned in
training". ;-)

Oh noes!! Oh noes!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are in the presence of a ROCKIST - even though you probably don't really like the term, and think it makes zero sense. Not for you, the smashing of canons and praising of Girls Aloud - and don't even try to bring up Shania's Ramones t-shirt. In the end, though, you're an affable sort, and who would begrudge you the chance to write those lists and cover those connections?

vintage latin? lollers!

― Wogan Lenin (dog latin), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 09:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Kanye, John Cena, and a moomin = lolz.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 09:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm also a Cheerful Regular -- 59% pwnedness!

The description doesn't really apply to me though!

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 10:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Another Cheerful Regular with 51%. I guess the description fits.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 10:34 (eighteen years ago) link

None of my actual answers were on there. I did not like the test. :-(

― The Lidl Shop Of Horrors (kate), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 11:10 (eighteen years ago) link

So no one got the Noize D00d result, then?

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Thursday, 5 January 2006 00:29 (eighteen years ago) link

did anyone else get old ilm? i feel so alone.

― miss michael learned (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 5 January 2006 00:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I got old ilm - 46% pwnedness!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 5 January 2006 00:47 (eighteen years ago) link

i got cheerful regular. which pisses me off.

― POOP BITCH (Mandee), Thursday, 5 January 2006 01:29 (eighteen years ago) link

i got old ilm, but i'm not old ilm...i started here in November 2003

― latebloomer: Grab my puffy nipples and make a wish. (latebloomer), Thursday, 5 January 2006 01:37 (eighteen years ago) link

what counts as old-ilm?

― latebloomer: Grab my puffy nipples and make a wish. (latebloomer), Thursday, 5 January 2006 01:40 (eighteen years ago) link

i started here in mid-2002. i think anything up to about there counts as old-ilm. although ilm had already jumped the shark by then.

― miss michael learned (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 5 January 2006 01:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Cheerful regular. Woo.

― J (Jay), Thursday, 5 January 2006 01:55 (eighteen years ago) link

I am quite thrilled by this, as I am a huge fan of Ned. If Nabisco is the King of ILX, and Momus is the Queen, then Ned is the bishop: diplomatic, diagonal, works well in a tactical situation, can be used to break through pw3n structures.

― ratty, Thursday, 5 January 2006 02:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Does this mean Nabisco/Momus slash is on its way?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 5 January 2006 03:13 (eighteen years ago) link

it isn't already?

so who's gonna be stroking the Ned?
