NiSask Software was started in 2004 for to develop software that meets the needs of everyday people.
We’re pretty sure that all the good names for software companies are already taken, and NiSask Software is a case in point. Strangely, it appears that all the everyday people are already taken, too. Isn’t that Shane Battier and Sandra Bullock on that website banner? And those other everyday people look remarkably like J. Crew catalog models, don’t they?
But we’re not going to mention the backward keyboard, because lysdexia is no joke.
NiSask Software’s shiny happy website led us to expect a fairly sophisticated ATM-simulating app, so you can imagine our adorable little shrieks of delight when we opened our trial copy of Bank of Parents to find a clunky brushed metal interface. Hooting wildly in anticipation, we filled in the required fields and clicked the submit button to reveal. . . a FULL-SCREEN brushed metal interface that WON’T LET YOU QUIT! WHEEEEE!
It was all so overstimulating that we got cranky and had to take an early nap.
This app may be a boon for anal-retentive breeders who wish to preschool their tykes in standard banking procedures, but think of the damage that could be inflicted on a sensitive rugrat’s psyche by a talking ATM machine. It freaked us out, man. And at $5.99 a pop — or six weeks’ allowance, back in OUR day — you’d think the developer could afford to include a few “special features” like resizable windows and a quit option. But no.

Posted by: Pan Fried on March 25, 2004 11:05 AMI've been visiting the CARS site the last few days and have noticed that the comments there are not nearly as much fun to read as at good ol' PvT. They are more illiterate, too. And that's including N.O.T.
I have a big weiner.

Posted by: longdongsilver on March 25, 2004 11:40 AMHey, sign me up for this one!
I noticed on their Features page that this app "Supports Up To 5 Children." Mine are getting too expensive. Have you ever tried feeding two teenagers? It's a bottomless pit. I'm all for letting "Bank of Parents" take over for a while.
Posted by: Uncertain Future on March 25, 2004 12:14 PMI am watching "The Inspector Lyndly Mysteries". Why are they mysteries? They always solve everything.
[Trans: I have nothing to contribute.]
Posted by: six chairs not four on March 25, 2004 12:33 PMIt's a mystery why you're wasting your time watching them.
[Trans: I also have nothing to contribute.]
Posted by: Bozo Nono on March 25, 2004 01:11 PMIt's to watch their misery that I am wasting them.
[Trans: I am also drunk again.]
Posted by: Scientyprickally Correct on March 25, 2004 03:09 PMI have a bigger weiner.
[Trans: I have nothing to contribute AND I am drunk again.]
Posted by: Norm O. Tidwell on March 25, 2004 03:20 PMYeah? Well my weiner could beat up your weiner.
[Trans: See above.]
Posted by: longdongsilver on March 25, 2004 04:03 PMI WOULD LIKE TO BUY THE NISASK CO.
FOR $1.00
[Trans: I like shouting.]

THANK YOU

Posted by: www.badgerbadgerbadger.com on March 25, 2004 04:47 PM> She sometimes looks Scandinavian
Ah - no.
> but here she just looks like a dog.
You got that right.
[Trans: I am jealous of Naomi's angelic beauty and genius IQ.]
For those who think dyslexia is no joke, here is a dyslexia joke.
Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac?
He used to lie awake all night wondering if there was a dog.
If I've offended anyone, I'm sorry. It's just a joke. It isn't meant to belittle, patronise, hurt, offend or mock anyone with dyslexia.
The person who told me this joke was a dyslexic mechanic. He also had a drinking problem. We used to laugh about his dyslexia. No-one laughed about his drinking problem.
Now look. Because I have a sense of social justice (hard as it might be to see sometimes behind my refusal to take most anything seriously), I've felt compelled to turn this post into a dirgelike apologetic misery.
Maybe we should all go back and read the joke again. That might make us feel better.
*Sigh!*
[Trans: I am not drunk enough yet.]
Posted by: aussie boy on March 26, 2004 02:15 AMOn their website it says, "Feel free to contact us at NiSask Software for:...Or any of your other software related needs."
Do you think they would entertain the idea of building a wood chipper control system so I could more efficiently grind their asses into flaming hunks of pus laden chum for my shark tank?
On a side note, naomi must be sorely disappointed in the lack of quality in the comments posted here. She must be severely depressed. So to cheer her up, naomi would you mind judging between me and longdongsilver to see who has the biggest weiner. Feel free to handle the taste each weiner as you see fit......damn it...every time I try shrink wrap my weiner I always end up making a bloody mess...sorry naomi if I got a few blood stains on my weiner as I cut it off to send it to you for inspection. It couldn't be helped. I feel so light head...(*thud*)
[Trans: Deep in my reptilian brain, I am actually very perceptive. However, I am crippled by my obsession with severed penises. Somebody please help me!]
Posted by: Norm O. Tidwell on March 26, 2004 02:37 AMI just thought of a great slogan for a cemetery.
"Free head stone with purchase of grave site. Dead bodies sold separately."
[Trans: I also have nothing more to contribute, but I crave your attention.]
Posted by: Norm O. Tidwell on March 26, 2004 02:55 AMThat reclining guy on the NiSask homepage has a big weiner and he seems to be doing something with it behind his 'laptop'. Maybe that's why the poppet is laughing so hard.
[Trans: I too have struggled to hide my penis obsession for years, but previous comments have pushed me over the edge, into the abyss. I'm falling, save me!]
Posted by: Mr.Clicky on March 26, 2004 04:55 AMI considered wiping the slate clean and starting over, but the hit men were too expensive. So instead I've provided translations for the comments that fail to measure up to the high standards of PvT.
[Trans: How about using your brains for a change? What do you think this is, CARS?]
Posted by: naomi on March 26, 2004 07:43 AMAnd there I thought people were doing their own translations, and for once were displaying a little wit.
Just for all you budding developers out there, setup is a NOUN. To set up is the verb. Backup is a NOUN. To back up is the verb. Apple gets it right about 2/3 of the time.
[Trans.: I am a pedantic git]
Posted by: pedantic git on March 26, 2004 09:05 AMnaomi, I'm sorry you find my fees excessive, but the people here aren't behaving in a heretical fashion. Just a stupid one.
And just what the hell is this program supposed to do?? I remember the days of my youth when if I wanted money, I walked up to my parents and asked for it. I wasn't required to boot the computer up, launch a program, enter my PIN, save and quit, shut down, THEN go to my parents and say "I have withdrawn X dollars from my bank account. My cash, please."
And WHAT is the point of an administrator password??? Are they afraid the children will artificially inflate their bank accounts of non-existant money???? "Oh look mommy, I have $1.5 billion in the Bank of Parents! I want to make a withdrawl please."
Apparently PvT now draws idiots like a black hole draws EVERYTHING.
Norm, please put me down for 5 wood chippers to be made to Inqusition specifications. You will be paid in chipmunks and rabbits by the usual methods.
Posted by: Laemkral on March 26, 2004 01:39 PMHi, all! Dr. Hartley referred me! Is this the verbal humiliation group? What do I do next?
Posted by: John Doe on March 26, 2004 05:36 PMyou useless sod! just stay right there, and why we will do the rest. People like you make me SICK, truly physically ill. (just like that chook has been.) You waltz in here, occasionally with an Oxford or quick-step variation, and expect to be verbally humiliated. I mean, who the HELL do you louse think you are! You are even an insult to louse, maybe more on par with plankton, or a particularly stupid macro-bacterium.
