You have to hand it to programmers, from time to time. Given the right nudge, carrot on a stick or personal milestone they can achieve almost anything. Last week’s ‘Talk like a pirate day’ is a perfect example. As mentioned previously I was thankfully away for this booty hunting, scallywagging friday in September and in my absense I notice someone hijacked the Adhere Creative website. At first I feared bad’uns, then I spotted the language used.
In short, the text on our website has been converted to ‘pirate speak’. For example:
“The Adhere Creative is a multimedia design agency specialisin’ in online interactive systems, I’ll warrant ye. This includes website design, content and project management, online video, print design and digital communication…
and
…The focus fer this event were bein’ th’ Big City Plan, th’ new masterplan fer Birmingham city centre. The Plan were bein’ launched in February 2008 and th’ City Council is keen t’ engage with a large cross section o’ scallywags t’ help shape th’ future o’ Birmingham, avast.”
So thanks Kam, Chris, for writing and applying a conversion utility to our site. I should never leave the top deck unmanned! Please feel free to change back at any point boys.

Ok, so today is international ‘talk like a pirate’ day and the geeks in my office have obviously taken to this like a fish to water. Unfortunately, or thankfully depending on your persuasion, today I am off on holiday for a few days to sunny somerset. Due to this I am destined to miss the geek related pirate antics, at least til we hit the beach and risk meeting a west country I.T. Support team scrabbling around in caves trying to smuggle outdated zx spectrum games bought nostalgicly off eBay, swigging non alcohol, sugar free rum and avoiding direct sunlight.
So with due dedication to my trusty team I say ‘avast ye’, ‘arggh’, ‘who’s a pretty boy then’ and ‘if you try to skip off at lunch time you’re all fired and destined to ride the good ship the black motherboard endlessly on the ocean sine waves’. Have a good day folks!
