Tales from inside the Internet. Part 2
I thought that while I was living in the Internet you all would like some sort of an update about what I've been finding. So far the things that I have found are:

There really isn't much else in here, except for the countless E-Interneticon stories that I've been finding in books, so if you don't mind I would like to recall for you one of the oldest (or so the book claimed) Internet story entitled A megabyte is a kilobyte shy of a Dime.


There was once a little kilobyte, a tiny little thing who all the bigger files made fun of. The little kilobyte you see was just that, a tiny little kilobyte, barely larger than a dime. All of the other files were at least 10 times his size, ranging anywhere from 10 kilobytes to 900 kilobytes, almost a megabyte! Because of this the little kilobyte was very sad.

He left school and began running home to his parents, he hoped that if he ran fast enough the bullies wouldn't be able to catch him and he would be safe. Unfortunately he ran into a back alley and he saw...


The story ends there as the book is almost completely destroyed by that point, I'm not sure what would have caused digital information to become destroyed, but it probably has something to do with the great corruption of '95. See back in 1995 there was a terrible worm which, as legend goes, corrupted everything it touched; and from the ashes of the corrupted data rose other worms who would then continue corrupting data.

Only after quarantining that part of the Internet were AV men able to come in and liquidate every last worm, however as the legend goes the worms will rise again and cause the downfall of the entire Internet, until that time however we are safe. Man it's kind of hard to believe how many stories there are about the Internet and the creation of (it). I'm going to keep looking around but until I go, have a Koan.


Two viruses were going to infect a computer, but both realized that if the other virus infected the computer first than they would not be able to infect the computer. The second virus infected a different computer, it was then that the first virus become enlightened.




And remember the guiding light, lest we forget the glory that be Lemon Party.
Because your blog sucks.
