    This is the third time this week I've actually laughed out loud at TDWTF. Not as loudly as yesterday, which caused the heads of colleagues to turn towards me in annoyance, but it did invoke an audible chuckle.

    These entries are humour at their very best.

    Congratulations Randolpho! I always knew you were lipstick on a pig material!

    trwtf is why this is the prize winner. so what, its quirky and humorous, its not a serious site. He probably just wrote it for the sake of writing it, i hardly think it qualifies. If this code was doing something more than driving a "quirky and humorous" site, then yea. But this smacks of lack of content to be honest.

    Atlas, the entire point of the competition was to write something stupid. This is the definition of stupid. It's not a normal entry on TDWTF.

    I'm lazy - is there a link to where this is being hosted so we can all play with it?

    Finally. My master plan has come to fruition. 15 years ago everyone I knew questioned the wisdom of marrying Randolpho. "Is this a joke!?!" They asked. "Did you lose a bet!?!" They wailed. "Are his parents billionaires......and terminally ill?" They pondered. "Does he really wear a size 13wide shoe?" (Why yes. Yes he does.) They never suspected the truth. Tactical bacon, I did this all for you. Soon we will be together. Forever. Tactical bacon, I love you.

    I hope we get the actual contest winner soon instead of more of these honorable mention winners. Don't get me wrong they are creative and evil but at least they tried.

    If you know so much about what is good and what isn't, then why didn't you submit your own brillant entry?

    Here you go:

    http://ask-threepio.azurewebsites.net/

    It's a free hosting, so suck up all my bandwidth while the getting is good. On the plus side, all of the music is hosted on Github rather than Azure, so you can listen to the Jukebox all day long and Azure won't complain at me about it. I confess I occasionally load it up and just listen to the Jukebox while programming; it's quite good at getting me in the zone.

    Alex and everyone at The Daily WTF: Thank you for having this contest. It's not often a developer gets a thin set of goals and a wide green field to play in, and this contest certainly gave me that. I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the first one, and I look forward to the next one. (hint hint)

    You're doing [insert deity of choice here]'s work, folks. :)

    Bianca, my love, I always suspected you of harboring feelings for that bacon. We'll talk about this when I get home. :/ Ah, who am I kidding? I forgive you -- it's bacon, what's not to love?

    Right or wrong, that's just how these contests were done a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

    What I'm getting here is that the point is not something you have much experience with.

    you could have just acted indifferently towards this. you know. more "atlas shrugged."

    I'm at work so I can't click that link. Some other unwitting pawn please do the honors. And if you would be ever so kind, write up a status report of where that veiled link goes.

    Don't worry, it's totally work safe. Maybe not sanity safe, and definitely an old joke, but safe for work.

    Here's another idea: make a program that uses every external service it can find. The user enters the question, which gets translated with Google Translate and back again with Bing translate, then gets rendered as an image using an online image processing service, then gets uploaded to Amazon S3, then transferred to Dropbox, sent by email with Sendgrid to an Azure server that OCRs it back to text, etc. until finally the answer is delivered by SMS to the user's phone.

    The point of all this? The application would have this background and music and you'd see the process in real time, your question being one of the blue balls and each of the machines representing someone's server on the internet, never stopping, endlessly moving things around for no purpose. Now don't tell me that's not art.

    I can't even finish my personal things. When I put a simple task on my "TODO (urgent)" list it takes me 6 months to finish it. How do you expect me to have done that?

    But it's good to have an "ideas man"....

    My favourite terrible thing about this is that it's so slow computing an answer that I went to read other articles while I waited. The first answer happened to be given right when I checked back but the second one I missed and there's no way to see the answer if you're not looking at the right moment so...

  • anin (unregistered)

    the biggest WTF is that there is no demo (nor is the demo linked at github)!
