I think I wrote this...

[debgeisler]

...in a fit of snorting (and possibly cold medicine) some months ago, in response to two geekyfolk doing a "my Internet is longer than yours" about when they started on the Inter NSF ARPANet.

It's clearly set to the rhythm of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner...but I'm just not sure if it was original or if it was swiped.

Pixels, pixels, everywhere,
And so the bandwidth shrinks;
Mega, giga, everywhere,
Nor (really not nearly enough) any drop to drink.

[...]

He hacketh best, who surfeth best
All bytes both great and small;
For the sysadmin who op-eth us,
He made and coded all.

So, have you ever read this anywhere else, or did I write it? Thanks!

I sure hope it's yours

...it's just too damn funny. I'd love to see the full version.
