RFC 2324

RFC 2324 - Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0):
There is coffee all over the world. Increasingly, in a world in which computing is ubiquitous, the computists want to make coffee. Coffee brewing is an art, but the distributed intelligence of the web-connected world transcends art. Thus, there is a strong, dark, rich requirement for a protocol designed espressoly for the brewing of coffee. Coffee is brewed using coffee pots. Networked coffee pots require a control protocol if they are to be controlled.
I thought this RFC was bloody brilliant. Then it turned out that there is a whole lot out there.

Most of the city was on holiday due to Ganesh Chaturthi. My place wasn't, since we opted for holidays closer to weekends. Anyway, the streets were un-effing-believably peaceful today morning. Even the hell that is the flyover construction site at Airport Road.

I wished things were this way, every day.
