Introducing "The Book"

If you've ever helped anyone with a computer you'll love this! This is can also be referred to as "The Medieval Helpdesk".

This is in Norwegian, so you can probably turn the volume down, but it's subtitled. I just watched this with a bunch of technology directors and we were all laughing out loud.

Ha ha ha! That is what I feel like when I try to help my boss at work with his computer...

Mocha commented (on February 1, 2008 4:38 PM):

That was pretty darn awesome. I should use it for some lesson someday.

Kurt V. commented (on February 1, 2008 5:37 PM):

Yes! That clip is Soooooo on the money! I've seen it before and it is one of two scenes that play in my head when actually doing my rotation at helpdesk duty.

"Move Around the leaf..."

The other clip is that scene in the Pixar film "Bugs Life" when the ants are carrying food back to their anthill and a leaf flutters down and lands in front of them: The ants just stand there unable to figure out what to do until one leader ant starts demonstrate and then gently urge in soothing tones to, "Move around the leaf... "

Remember info?
(Posting rules are below)
NEW RULE: No HTML code is allowed (URLs are okay).



No HTML is allowed (it's used too much by spammers). You may list site URLs in the comments with "http://" in front of it (and I'll automatically link it) but do not put href tags around it or the whole message will be blocked. Sorry, but the spammers were really starting to annoy me.

If you want a Gravatar icon (square images) to show up next to your comment (like these), be sure to register at http://gravatar.com/.

If you want a web site thumbnail (rectangular images) to show up next to your comment (like these), be sure to submit your link (you must add yourself to the DMOZ.org directory too) for Thumbnails by Thumbshots.org.

It's Free! Even if you register later, it'll magically show up here. (Gravatars take precedence over Thumbshots.)

Rules: It's my blog so what I say goes. This means I can delete or edit posts that are offensive, have bad grammar, promote something not related to the post or that I just feel like fixing or deleting. Pretty much if you play nice I'm not going to mess with your comment (why would I?).
Spammers: My filters, lookups and verification stops more than 99.99% of spam; I will report you to the various spam collection sites / authorities (there must be a better word for this) so don't post here.

Privacy: While I don't post your e-mail address, nor will I sell your info, I may send you an announcement if I ever change my web address or start a new blog or something like that (I had someone complain about sending a notification once, so this is my disclaimer).
