w00t!11!!!

I think this would fit right in :)
Mcdee

FWIW I suggest:
A laughing Squid sticker on a ‘puter.
A Photo shopped poster of Xeni, A la Rule 34 :)
Mentioning Rule 34.
A Goatse reference.
An “All your base” reference.
LOLCats for sure.
WOW in some way.
XKCD for sure.

The list goes on (and on and on and on)
:)

Whiteboards which are either full or empty.

A poster saying “Have you tried turning it off and on again”.

A table of cables (ideally which then try and trip you up).

A poster on the door that says “Do not feed”.

A monitor so big it dwarfs a human being.

A monitor that looks like a TV.

A NeXT cube.

-A barrage of USB connected items from most useless to the itty-bit useful.

-A bit weird but yes, blue light or anything that has an aura of blue light on gigantic speakers/ancient lava lamps/wifi detectors.

-Google, random software, or any programming language of choice, on anything.

-a silly mock up of an iPod/any ad and place in dinosaur/ IT crowd actors. Of course, photoshopped.

-Cradle of Filth poster

-sticker on a door, ‘n00b’/’733T’

-Robots/Action Figures still in boxes.

-Jen’s office can have aromatic candles and flower art. I also think she should have a huge poster of what/who is not allowed in her office which includes everybody else’s name.

People need to learn that just because you get the references in a show or recognise the EFF poster on the wall, that does not mean you have to find it funny.

While the occasional line in the show is good–and Chris Morris always provides good value–I have never come across a show that people have such trouble justifying their enjoyment of.

@8 Metlin: then they wouldn’t really be geeks then, would they?

And why not? I know several geeks (men and women) with excellent fashion sense. It’s one of those punitive conformisms enforced by society – if you are in IT, you’ve to dress like an idiot and a slob; if you’re a geek, you’re supposed to look like the 70s nerd personified etc.

Rubbish.

Muchachada powa!

Don’t know if these will play in the UK, but I’ve been immersed in IT in the U.S. for so long…

Graphic novels, something odd like Death Note (popular with pre-teen girls). Do they have tech job fairs in the UK? The California fairs have the BEST toys – a portable hand-held massager, binoculars, a Disney Wile-E-Coyote stuffed toy with Wile-E and an anvil, with a sound unit inside that makes the falling, crashing, and roadrunner meepmeep sound when you drop it (job fair toy, I swear)…

A BIG sign about L-Users…the Unix VI cheat sheet with the tips all printed within the shape of a V….phone lists about two years out of date…really ugly cat kitsch, and ancient technology – some 4″ floppy disks, dissected and pinned up on the wall with push-pins, at least one held to a metal shelving unit with a magnet and the note – “Disk Storage System”…

Old clothes – really nasty, dark t-shirts balled up by the leg of the desk…

A couple of ancient kinetic toys, the type with fluid inside that you turn over and the fluid runs through a bottleneck.

Broken coffee mugs, with extinct company logos, chipped, that they still use. At least one dead or nearly dead plant in a clay pot. (Richmond should have a veritable greenhouse of plants behind his door, thriving on the fluorescent lighting, his own private happy place, with of course some ‘tomato plants’ – some that bear fruit, some that, um, don’t.

You want realisitic, right?

A Peterson Projection map of the world. BIG. On the wall. It highlights their altered view of reality. And a huge HP World poster. Doesn’t matter if they don’t use HP :). A Linux convention laptop bag, some Oracle or Informix or Ingres paraphernalia, or all three…

I’ve been confused that there’s no photo of Einstein somewhere in the lab, or Hawking or Tesla. It’s trite, but there’s always at least one of these somewhere. And a few Dilbert comics stuck on a computer. No way they don’t have a single friend who’s sent them a few of Dogbert’s choice comments.

That obnoxious t-shirt, “Information is abundant, Wisdom is scarce” (can you burn it for me?) and a picture of Spock on a mug, that someone sometime left in the basement office.

Good luck! Thanks for asking >:).

-A copy of OS/2 Warp sitting somewhere
-An SGI Indy Workstation (the cool blue pizza box) and matching monitor
-An 80′s sony MSX computer
-A NeXTCube! (someone said that earlier, but i second it!)
-A Be Box! (again, i second it)
-An Altair 8800
-Commander Keen hidden in every episode haha
-SuperFrog (from the Amiga Days)

Need the guys having a Doom deathmatch raving about how killa the graphics are n stuff hahaha

The show is mainly based on physical comedy – man fall down go boom. The references are icing on the cake. Well written, solid story arcs for each episode: easy to enjoy.

WooYayHoopla!!!1

p.s. Is it possible for a BBC show that I like to have more than 6 episodes in a season?
