Om nissens brug af tekstfiler

“I always wanna make em jump” i said to the priest.
”I want them to be gnomes, jumping, around, telling stories about themselves”.
“I also want myself to be integrated somewhere”.
Han er så integreret, der er ingen tvivl om hans værdi, selvom man måske ikke identificerer sig med den.
Men den er der, og den flyder så skønt ud i rummet, stille, som meget sagte bølger kravler op ad stranden. Det kræver også opmærksomhed at lægge mærke til det. And the gnomes start jumping, as one guy excitedly strikes his hand, his arm, into the air, and tells the story of the relation. Numbers are like gods, they stand their ground, still play around, bumping into eachother, two makes lover. Think like a gnome.

All gnomes share information via pure text documents. Thats just the way it is, for sure they like their wheelbarrows, and their little plows and spades. But when the digital age slowly dawned upon them. They found comfort in the .txt file’s slow and pure form, perfect for what it needed to do. So when you share information, think like a gnome. Gnomes arent scared of their data leaking, they are not really particularly interested in encryption, at least not encrypted file formats.
