Tubes, multicoloured and different shapes...

I picked up a delivery this morning: a package full of intertubes.

Stand by for full connectedness.

My title here reminded me of a story my old boss let me in on. He was interviewing for a drafting position, and was trying to get a handle on how much the dud knew about AutoCAD.  He asked him about blocks, and the fella said "Yeah, they can come in different shapes, and colours, and stuff."  For those unfamiliar, Blocks are user-defined groups of entities (such as lines circles etc) whereby all instances of the block in a drawing are updated when one is changed.  So to say that they can come in different colours and shapes was very funny to us…  *sigh*. Geek humour.
