A Geek’s Guide to Rejection

Talking about humour…I found this at Digg. (Digg is all about user powered content. Every article on digg is submitted and voted on by the digg community. Share, discover, bookmark, and promote the news that’s important to you!)Posted one day ago, it received already 878 diggs. And it is funny!

You are on Digg. That means you’re Either a Geek or . . . well, you’re a Geek. Here’s a funny article that helps translate Chick Rejections to a language we Geeks can better understand.

The article is at the SEO-weblog. Of course you have to understand the Status Code Definitions of http, but then they are very funny. Most of all I enjoyed the response by a woman named Natasha:

203 Non-Authoritative Information (alternate)
“I didn’t lie.  About anything important.”

407 Proxy Authentication Required

In geeky solidarity,

On her own weblog she posted some other intepretations.
