The Joy of Tech
In Lothlórien
Oh, just me and some folk (actually, I don’t think anyone knows them) looking out for trouble.
cFos Mug 2012
For some time i wanted to add another one of my favourite shows to this collection. This year was the year.
Welcome to Southpark!
On this mug it’s just the “Practice Random…” line in morse code at the bottom and the “42” as the american traffic sign W4-2R.
Everytime I’m driving a car,
cFos Mug 2011
This mug is done in the style of Leonardo da Vinci, right up to the mirrored hand-writing he used for his texts. “Practice random kindness…” ist not actually hidden, but just translated into Italian. The additional text has been taken from our Italian “traffic shaping” page.
The “42” is hidden in the dice’s visible pips, the current year can be gained by counting the corners of the geometric objects: “20” + “6+5=11” = “2011“.
In the text the letters “r,o,j,v,n,b” are rendered in a slightly lighter tone, the letters “e,m,f,a,v” slightly stronger. By applying the Vigenère cipher with the correct key (3–6–15–19 = “cfos“) one gets the names of “Martin” and “Chris”.
