TinyBooks 1.1.3

Ostensibly purposed for accounting and bookkeeping tasks, this suppurating little clod boasts such key features as fixed-length fields, UglyTypeWriterFontPro, and a complete set of account names designed by none other than Mr. Kevin Winograd.

Now we don’t claim to understand what life is like in Merrimack, NH, but we are pretty certain that the various Nor’Easters that regularly surge up the Merrimack River cannot wholly account for the author’s dour and unflagging talent for architecting UI in the most inhumane fashion possible.

No, Mr. Kevin Winograd, the reasons for this travesty do not lie adjacent to the brutal thermocline of the Merrimack River, nor are they located just slightly to the left of the mighty empyreal spheres. Instead, clustered like so many Cherry-Blasted Dried Plums (which are actually new-fangled prunes with disgusting flavorings brutally injected into their slimy inner regions), the reasons are forever lodged deep within the perpetually squishy pit of your tortured psyche.

Space-Time Associates, please salve your fathomless hurt with a unabashedly perfect 11, heavily redolent of antiquity with the merest hint of a hand-knit avocado cozy.

Addendum: After writing my review, I left TinyBooks running all day. On my return home from work, I discovered a very well-behaved process in top:

I think we've done that gag.

*Sigh!*

Belvedere, hand me the blunderbuss and a bucket of rusty nails, will you, old legume. Someone is asking for a perforated gluteus.

Yes! 3rd post!

Mommy?

So Cherry-Blasted Dried Plums are female?

Only if you want them to be ...

Posted by: aussie boy on January 29, 2004 01:23 PM

Well, they _do_ have those disgusting flavorings brutally injected into their slimy inner regions. Sounds rather similar.

I am of the opinion that the blunderbuss is one of the finest weapons ever. Not for style or functionality reasons, but merely becasue you can stuff any old damn thing in there and then shoot it at someone. Marvelous. Get out the rotten pork and the caltrops, here come those damn neighbor kids again...

Blunderbuss,caltrops and rotten pork-cant wait for Mr.Tidwell to run with this one.


Kaboom!

Oh wow, another gem from the makers of Hangman Bible.

The web site says it is 'Designed for Sole Proprietors'. But I am guessing it could be adapted for other species of fish too.

Ah, fuddy, me old duddy.

Good to see you haven't found your sense of humour, old loin chop!

Keep those assegais a'stabbing. I love to see a blood-puddle in these hallowed halls of hooliganism.

Belvedere, my spyglass and a balloon of Mother McGee's Cottontail-Filtered Brandy, s'il vous plait. The Roman circus is back in town!

Posted by: aussie boy on January 30, 2004 03:50 AM

Finally there's an ap that's ap-enough to fill my CPU like a real ap should...

And, Mr. Boy? The Roman circus never left town, they simply ran out of barbarians from time to time. Hardly a problem at PvT.

I wonder, Mr Liebnitz, whether the Roman circus might have considered the Republican Party of the United States of American in their quest for barbarians?

As the "head honcho" of the Republican Party (boy, they ain't kiddin') of the United States of Amerrican, I wish to reassurize y'all that we an no barbiques. No sirree, that thar outdoor grillin' stuff is for them Demo-crats. Our parties are strickly limited to cocaine orgys. Just ask my good ol' boy Trent Lotta-Hotta. Cheney sure can let go some massive WMDs during them cabinet meetings, though.

My understanding is that the Republican Party got it's name sometime about the time of Emperor Tiberius. Their regular tail-gate parties before the annihilation of former members of the Republic were so memorable as to transcend the ages.

SCO is going down!

on Norm O Tidwell. And he likes it.

Posted by: El Capitano Corelli on January 31, 2004 02:37 AM

I'm a fake Norm. Can I get Lindows to go down on me? I promise to like it.

Posted by: Norm O. Tidwell on January 31, 2004 08:54 AM

I have a big wiener.

The quality of comments has steadily declined over the last couple of months, with the exception of enriching posts by Aussie, Thuros, myself, and, occasionaly, fuddes. Let's pick it up people. We used to have epic post battles, the likes of which had never been seen. Now we've been reduced to weiner jokes. I'm gonna go meld with my X-Box and contemplate our lack of enthusiasm.

Well, Nick, I could wax eloquent about the relativistic impact on quantum mechanics that the unipositive Hydrargyrum cation exemplifies, or the metaphysical implications of group theory in its application to X-ray crystallography, but I'm sure all of the illustrious readers of a web site of this intellectual caliber are already familiar with such mundane things. Hence, I make wiener jokes instead.

Posted by: Uncertain Future on January 31, 2004 01:16 PM

I waxed eloquent once. That was the day the state took my children away. And I don't mean the show.
