Sleep via SMS/email revisited  6

A post by Murphy detailing how he sometimes uses my tip on putting your Mac to sleep by sending a text message has been picked up by a few higher-profile-than-mine sites, e.g. Infinite Loop, macosxhints.com, The Unofficial Apple Weblog etc.

When I first saw these posts popping up I thought “Hey! That’s my idea!” and got ready to say so on every site it was featured. But then I thought “Nah. Murphy’s given me proper credit and besides, I don’t think my host’s servers can take another pounding like when I originally posted the tip!”

So I went and put the kettle on instead, metaphorically speaking.

Well! You are quite popular mister Tim Margh! ;^) - MHC

We’ll all know you should be famous even if you don’t want the fame - Grix

“I don’t think my host’s servers can take another pounding…” I’m sure you wouldn’t mind really, would you? - Wayne Smallman

TIMMARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ramz keeps on PMing me asking me where you are and to get you back. I also ‘want you back, want you back, want you back for good’, as you once sang to me that romantic night last June. So, stop writing crap about your stupid life, and get over your ridiculous obsession with your mac (we all know that your mac obsession is just a product of you trying to focus your mind any something other than ‘OH MY GOD MY FUCKING BODY IS NOT WORKING.’). Come back to Forum Fatale: the forum that created you in the first place. We don’t care that you’re cripped and ugly, we only care about your love. - Tonay

Nice to meet you, Mr. “Tim Margh” :D - LobsterMan

Hmm, maybe I should change my real name to that … ? - Timmargh
