Interesting.

 

That does look interesting

 

That is a thing of beauty. The comment underneath the vid is priceless:

"I have never seen something so simultaneously wonderful and pointless in my entire life"

 

A friend suggested (by email) that he 'enjoyed the etheresque pointlessness' of it.

I've searched and thought and buggered around with that statement...

And I don't know what he means.

Can you help?

J.

 

Translates for me as "finger up own ass, with a modicum of talent, but f*ck all idea how to apply it practically"

I may be wrong though

 

I think there's a touch more to it than that, old chap.

Said Gent is a 'Proper' engineer, inasmuch that we are using his expertise to communicate via the web etc., etc.

If we don't have 'power', then we don't have comms.

I think I'll ask him what he means, but until then...

It's open for discussion.

All yours...

J.

 

And then of course there's this...

Which is so beautiful in it's simple complexity it's unreal...

J.

Sorry abouth the apostrophe folks.

I, of course, meant 'its' (first one).

Oh, the shame...

 

With the sound off, its hypnotizing (or maybe I have a problem)

 

No offence intended if I was flippant, mate.

 

Oh, golly, lordy no!

All flippancy is good mate!

That's what the thread is about me old china!

I could probably use even more exclamation marks, but I think I've worn the key out1

Tee hee.

J.

 

Genius !! Indeed it is

 

Quite stunning, Jak.

I yield!

J.

 

He may be a 'proper' engineer, but he has no idea about 'proper' English usage. There is no such word as 'Etheresque' - if he proves otherwise I'll eat my hat.

Therefore, I refer you to the honourable gentleman above's previous answer:

 

Ah, Gentlemen again I have to yield.

His phrase was 'Esheresque pointlessness'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._C._Escher

and the word is of his own construction.

J.

 

Here's my take on this:

"Those that can do, those that can't bitch"

 

And I even spelled the made up word wrong. Should have been 'Escheresque'.

I think I'm having a bad spelling day.
