Speaking of Standards

This video is about six months old, but after a friend reminded me of it, I realized that I had to blog about it. I mean, how can you not be amused by “The Day The Routers Died…” (once you adjust to the use of the European “rooter” vs the American “rowter”):

Note that if you click on the video and go to the YouTube page, you can click on the “More Info” link and get the full words.

For those not familiar with RIPE, it is an open organization for Europeans interested in the Internet and through the RIPE Network Coordination Centre provides allocation of IP addresses, domain names and other aspects of Internet “policy” (such that there is) in the European region. This song was performed at their last meeting (RIPE 55) and their next meeting, RIPE 56, is coming up May 5-9 in Berlin.

Kudos to whoever spent the time to come up with these lyrics and to the gent performing it! Nicely done.
