I am walking on spring st in SoHo and my phone received a Bluetooth worm. Now I post about it online from said phone.

I assume "bluetooth worm" is some sort of a virus... Did he eat too much blueberries?

Basically my phone got an file transfer request from another phone. The file was executable. I accepted, out of curiousity, but didn't open it.

Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
Jumped off the roof today
Some would say he fell but I could tell
He did himself away
His eyes weren't bright like they were the night
We played checkers on the train
God Bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
But he's a dead cat just the same

We are living in the future
I'll tell you how I know
I read it in the paper
Fifteen years ago
We're all driving rocket ships
And talking with our minds
And wearing turquoise jewelry
And standing in soup lines
We are standing in soup lines

Jake the barber's lonely daughter
Went down to her daddy's shop
She plugged herself to a barber pole
And took a little off the top
Pressure on the left. Pressure on the right
Pressure in the middle of the hole
I'm goin' to Maine on a forty foot crane
I'm gonna use it for a fishin' pole

Old Sarah Brown sells tickets down
At the all night picture show
Where they grind out sex
And they rate it with an "X"
Just to make a young man's pants grow
No tops no bottoms just hands and feet
Screaming the posters out on the street
Strangling the curious and the weak
We give 'em what they want to see - O

I actually read that as 'Bluetooth wang' initially.

time to upgrade, ned

There's a better wang out there?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 18 August 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't want a wang with teeth! Blue ones, even.

Does browsing ILE on a phone work? I haven't tried it yet.

I browse ILE on my phone all the time, to my shame. Sometimes during big meetings at work! The noize board is awesome to look at if you are drunk and walking somewhere.

Wow, it works. Do you stay logged in even when you quit browsing? Entering my password in on a phone keypad all the time could become really annoying.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Friday, 19 August 2005 03:35 (twenty years ago)

not if your password is 34647476

In the meantime, could Nike please start producing those hover shoes? I rater like them.

as mine doesn't seem to accept cookies then unfortunately you won't stay logged in, which means when reading large threads you will have to scroll a looooooooong way down the page.

but otherwise it's fine, i've posted sometimes from my phone.

I say the future is just something we imagined. Try pinching yourself in the future and see if it works.

two months pass...
