His name is really Karlos

[Karlos]

So to repay the favour i'm going to reveal Karlos' real name. His name is.....

.....Karl.

It took some effort but i finally found it at babysnames.com

:lol:

This is not a secret It was in my "real name" info when the forum was running xoops for, what 7 years?

[Karlos]

@Kesa

Strictly speaking, I didn't give it away, you did. Your post was left with your name in it for ample time for all and sundry to read it before I posted. There'd been about 20 views before I even commented.

Cat was out of the bag, mate. There's no stuffing it back in now. Though I have removed the leak since you fixed your post

[Karlos]

No it's stuck here forever a shining beacon of your shame! Held up as an example to all other would be posters...

Moved to "amiga.org discussion and site feedback". Seemed the best place for it. That or the coffee house

[Karlos]

Well now that i have Karlos' real name sorted

His name is Karlos and he posts upon the org,
Just for a deceased platform belonging in a morgue.
And when he posts he really blabbers all he can,
Oh Karlos, Karlos we just don't understand.

[Karlos]

Sung to the tune of "Rio" by Duran Duran.

Named in one. Feel free to add verses :lol:

[Karlos]

Bah! And I was trying to fit it to "She's got it" by flock of seagulls :-/

My aw.net signature still includes this:

All I ever coded, all I ever needed
Is here, in C plus plus.
BASIC is very unnecessary,
it can only suck ass...

I'm sure you'll get that one straight away...

[Karlos]

As a fan of the mOdE, the meter is burned into my brain

You should also take heart from the fact it was BASIC and not Objective-C being slammed

[Karlos]

Just opened me back door to feed the squirrels...



It's nearly 3 feet deep...

Help... Im snowed in...

@ bloodline
(I hear the Spanish Inquisition drawing near... )

It's finally arrived here too.

[Karlos]

@Bloodline

I'm trying think of a way to fit ob-C into the song People are people

Ok, I'll start you off:

Coders are people, so why should it be?
Some of them like to use Objective-C

[Karlos]

:lol: and the refrain: "I can understand, what makes a man hate objective-C, help me understand"

So a different language,
Used for different needs.
Somewhat inefficient but available free.
It's obvious you hate it
And you have all along,
Mr Jobbs supports it, so how could I be wrong?

[Karlos]

Bravo! That's all rather good now verse 2.

Considering the tone of this one, the verse needs to change:

Coders are people, so why should it be?
Some of them like to hate Objective-C

[Karlos]

@bloodline

now verse 2.

Now you're typing and you're clicking
And you're ranting at me
About this "bloody awful" Objective-C.
So far you haven't realised,
But I'm sure you will
Apple only use it
To make haters feel ill

[Karlos]

LOL!

At this rate, we're going to have to extend the song.

[Karlos]

So, before I quickly skedaddle for a few mins, may I humbly present my reworded track, as perceived from an objective c afficionado's perspective:


So a different language,
Used for different needs.
Somewhat inefficient but available free.
It's obvious you hate it
And you have all along,
Mr Jobbs supports it, so how could it be wrong?

I can't understand
What makes man
Reject apple's plan
Help me understand!

Coders are people, so why should it be?
Some of them like to hate Objective-C
Coders are people, so why should it be?
Some of them like to hate Objective-C

Now you're typing and you're clicking
And you're ranting at me
About this "bloody awful" Objective-C.
So far you haven't realised,
But I'm sure you will
Apple only use it
To make haters feel ill

I can't understand
What makes man
Hate an apple fan
Help me understand!
