• What I do in Class

  In one of my classes, I had to write a quick XML file for some fake restaurant you make up. Since I already knew the stuff, I used it as an opportunity to make some awful IT puns. Here is the result:

  <?xml version="1.0"?>

  <menu>
  XYZ Breakfast
  <menuitem>
  <itemname>FTPancakes</itemname>
  <itemprice>$5.50</itemprice>
  <itemdesc>File Transfer Pancakes</itemdesc>
  <itemcals>500</itemcals>
  </menuitem>
  <menuitem>
  <itemname>Scrambled EggsML</itemname>
  <itemprice>$3.44</itemprice>
  <itemdesc>Scrambled Eggs-stensible Markup Language</itemdesc>
  <itemcals>127.001</itemcals>
  </menuitem>
  <menuitem>
  <itemname>POP3-Tarts</itemname>
  <itemprice>$6.67</itemprice>
  <itemdesc>Post Office Protocol Tarts</itemdesc>
  <itemcals>404</itemcals>
  </menuitem>
  </menu>

  Okay, I should apologize. Mondays through Wednesdays are dreadful days for me to write because I go straight from a full day of work to a full evening of school. I think these dreadful puns came from a lack of sleep and complete ennui.
