Internet for Dummies, Wednesday 10/25, 3rd Period

"Did everyone have a great weekend?" Abby asked cheerfully from where she perched on a desk. "It was nice to talk to all of your parents or guardians or odd Canadian pseudo-police personnel. If I screwed up in anyway and you need me to write a letter telling them I was drunk or something, let me know."

"Today we start our section on interpersonal communication, or in other words how to meet people, stay safe and get busy online." Abby grinned. "The first step is to create an email address and learn how to use it. I know that most of you already have an address, but for the purposes of today's assignment I want you to create a new one. You'll be using this email in the next few weeks, so make sure it's something you can live with."

Abby gave a brief lecture on the history of email and how to open an account. "Okay, get to it, open an account and send an email to at least one other person in the class."

I really feel like I should be writing something clever here or using lyrics.

Sadly, I'm too lazy to look up any lyrics this morning.

So you're stuck with what I can remember off the top of my head.

Old McDonald had a farm

E-I-E-I-O!

We were drawn from the weeds
We were brave like soldiers

everthesame@gmail.com? Surprisingly not taken. Jamie grabs it and waits for the inevitable SPAM messages to find it.

Me last night trying to get my daughter to sleep:

"And on this farm he had an emu
EIEIO
And I have no idea what an emu sounds like
EIEIO"

Baby: *does not care*

Jamie e-mails his friends back home:

"Hi All!

This is my new e-mail address.

Guido? I want my Space Battles drinking glasses connections you dirty thief!

Love,

Me"

When I asked the four year old that's currently drawing pictures all over my desk what an emu sounds like, she responded "eeeeerrrrOOONK!"

So apparently it's something like a stuttering duck or possibly a broken ambulance siren.

So there ya go.

Angela might still be a wee bit influenced by the weekend when she picks outoftime@gmail.com.

It works as an R.E.M. reference, too.

My parents had an emu in their backyard a couple of weeks ago.

Thay live out in the country, and apparently someone farms them nearby and one escaped. I'll have to ask them if it made any noise.

Angela decides to email everyone in class

From: outoftime@gmail.com
To: Internet Class;
Subject: Hi - testing

Is this thing working? Write back if it is
- Angela

You were holding to me
Like a someone broken

The females kinda go...boom. Not as in exploding, but the sound they make sounds like a boom. The males just sound like grunting pigs.

Kawalsky made a new email address.

likeasomeonebroken@gmail.com

Kawalsky emailed back.

From: likeasomeonebroken@gmail.com
To: outoftime@gmail.com

Nope. Not working at all.

And I couldn't tell you then,
But I'm telling you now.

Pete goes with bravelikesoldier@gmail.com.

He's not sure why, he just does.

Pete looked up from his computer to say "Yeah, it's workin'," outloud before remembering that for some reason, despite the fact that they're all in the same place, they're supposed to be typing at each other, not looking at each other.

The internet was a strange place.

Angela laughed and then wrote back:

From: outoftime@gmail.com
To: likeasomeonebroken@gmail.com

Oh. Too bad. Do you know how to fix it? -A
