Orkut - Send Scrap To All

January 19, 2008 by roshan.george in Internet, Friends, Orkut

You know, we wish each other on all sorts of occasions, sometimes we call up a friend after a long while just to wish them on the beginning of a New Year. We do all of this because we care, or that's the idea anyway. But tell me something, does it still show that you care if you replace that phone call with an automated calling machine that just calls each number in your phone book and says, "Happy New Year, X, I wish you a prosperous new year, and hope that you'll enjoy yourself." Man, that would suck. How different is this?

Orkut - Send Scrap To All

Of course I have to admit, it's better than nothing. At least you get some greetings instead of none from people who you're not likely to meet. Incidentally, guys, you're all engineers you know, you're all taught how to program in a hundred different languages, I don't get why you don't edit those scripts so that they stop appending the advertisement at the bottom. I mean, it's trivial.

You forget that most engineering students have trouble with HTML and that's not even a programming language.

I delete all mass scraps.

Well, they manage to win all those complicated debugging competitions. I just assumed.

There are these books. Everyone knows about them. The people setting the questions choose from the book and the participants memorize answers in advance. The one who remembers the most answers wins.

Welcome to engineering.

No way man, some of those questions are damn clever and shit. And they don't let you take the question paper with you.

Well, its all because these scraps have that silly footer in every scrap. What if it doesnt have to come along with it? I have been scrapping all friends in my list frequently for over a year and a half. Most people love it! Only ppl like Marc :P reproach with it.

If you dont want that footer to go along with those scraps, just type "" without the quotes of course after you type the body of the message. Simple! Enjoy Orkutting!!!

If you dont want that footer to go along with those scraps, just type “[Script]” (without the quotes and with normal html tags instead of the square brackets) after you type the body of the message. Simple! Enjoy Orkutting!!!

Trust me, that's how it works.

roshan.georgeJanuary 20, 2008

Ha ha, that's pretty clever. Closing the script. That's more like it. There's something about that thing that I hate.

Marc: Dude that's not fair. No man would say that's any fun.

MarcJanuary 21, 2008

Fair? Who cares about fair? Brain dead automatons.
