I can’t believe it!
My son gave me World of Warcraft for Christmas with a free month. Everybody says the game is addictive etc, but I figure OK, I like this kind of game, I’ll try it out for a month or two. I install it before dinner and in installed fine. After dinner, I create a WoW account and start the game and sign in. It wants to install a patch. OK, I wait for the download, tens of megabytes, and install the patch. And it wants another. And another. Probably over 100 megabytes of downloaded patches. I joke “World of Patchcraft” (which I discover I’m not the first one to call it that). Am I done? Not even close. Now it is downloading a 2.6 GIGAbyte patch. Good lord. This is so worse that installing Windows. It is going download all night. It says “about 11 hours” now. Good lord.

I was trying to explain XML to a co-worker, describing tags, and the words “Greater Than and Less Than symbols” didn’t leap immediately to my mouth so instead I invented the XML Hand Sign aka HTML Hand Sign. (The Pi Gang Hand Symbol posted on Boing Boing inspired me to post this.)
