Firstname.lst

Posted on Wed 07/12/06 in Technical Interleude

So today I was thinking…

If people’s last names were marked as file extensions, what would mine be?

Would I be like a .doc (document) or an .xls (Excel), .zip (compressed archive), .pdf (cross-platform-accepted document format), or perhaps a .bat (batch file, calling all sorts of other executables).

I think I would be Inspectaneck.par… a parity file that is used to reconstruct damaged files. That suits me self-reflexive view.

First name: Neck
Last name: par

P.S. Of course I mean to use the ol’ Microsoft 8.3 naming convention. Whatever.
