If you clicked on this diary expecting a thorough analysis, you will be disappointed. If you want to see a funny monkey, read on.
Those of you who use the Opera web browser may know that the newest version supports “widgets,” i.e. “downloadable interactive virtual tools that provide services such as showing the user the latest news, the current weather, a dictionary, a map program, sticky notes, or even a language translator, among other things,” to quote Wikipedia. Some of these widgets are useful, others are fun, and others again seem rather pointless.
One of these Opera widgets, available with a click of the mouse, is “Bradford Knows!”
The programmer goes on to note that this is his first blah blah with a yadayada scripting and a totally asynchronous blah blah on the blah. But apparently, there are some bugs.
I tried a few URLs, and the monkey mostly returned information and links that were peripheral or pretty much irrelevant to the site in question. I would have put it in the “pointless” category, had it not been for the very first URL request, which yielded the result below. Spot on.
What do you think?
(After this initial burst of truthfulness, the monkey proceeded to return results that were rather meaningless or had little to do with the original URL. In some way, that makes it even better. Society programs you to talk without substance, but sometimes, you just have to speak your mind.)
