About Me

I ramble about a number of things - but travel experiences, movies and music feature prominently. See my label cloud for a better idea. All comnments and opinions on this blog are my own, and do not in any way reflect the opinions/position of my employer (past/current/future).

Foo Bar

I have always wondered the history of using fooand bar in computer programs. RFC 3092 sheds some light.

RFCs or Request for Comments are one of the key foundations to standards on the Internet, and increasingly standards generally for computer systems. But I came across RFC 1121 by chance, and stumbled onto a set of RFCs that are funny or just plain weird ... inside jokes etc. Quite a big list of them here.

Lots of reading for the bored :P
