Story Time

Name: Anonymous 2007-08-25 1:36 ID:UCE7fflq

So, I've been having a good time reading some random stories on 4chan, and some of the copypasta stories (Heck, even those are kind of interesting, sometimes)
So, I figure I'd ask you, anon, to tell me a story. The kind of thing you could only say on 4chan, because that's the kind of thing that's interesting.
Or, if you just happen to know of a thread with a good story, that's cool too, I just wanna kill some time, and hear something interesting.

Oh, and I'd post something, but I'm rather boring, and don't really have any. I know you're interesting anon, I've been paying attention.

Oh, and I'm in before Bel-air.

I think I've crossed the line. If there's something I like as much as the Internet, it's taking a shower. Especially hot ones. It's one of those things that feels great no matter what time of day, and it's so unbelievingly awesome.

I was bored tonight and said, "Hm, what if I got the Internet in the shower?"

A half hour later, I had an email reader in my shower. I use Mac OS X and a program called Proxi(0) that pushes mail and Twitter notifications to my Griffin PowerMate(1), and it allows you to do tons of other things, including writing to a file. I made it so that on each new mail message that arrives into the inbox, it appends to a file the title of the email and who it's from to a file called MailArchive.

I then got out Learning Perl and put together a short 14-line script that pulls the entires from that file, displays the n latest posts (currently set to 100, may be more) via the tail command, and added some templating and javascript to the mix to make it scroll automatically.

Now, which device was I going to view this on and how was I going to waterproof it? I had the Opera browser for the Nintendo DS, and a Ziploc bag is just the right size to fit my DS Lite. I put it in there, sealed the bag, launched Mail, and entered the shower (the URL was already loaded into the DS).
