in reply to My interpersonal communication protocol/style is the most like...

A list for people who can't decide:

  • TCP Conversation starts with short phrases, and could end on an exhastive discourse on the monarchy of middle-age China
  • UDP You start conversations with a discourse on the monarchy of middle-age China, but you often skip words in the middle of the sentance, or walk away while you're still talking
  • ICMP You run up to people, scream "PING!" in their ear, and run away
  • IPX IPX-type people used to be their own kind, but are now largely considered a subset of TCP-type people
  • SMB You enjoy running up to a group of people, yelling "HI, EVERYONE!!!", and then run away, only to return a few minutes later
  • TFTP Your communication contains only essential details
  • SMTP You enjoy harrasing people with your blater one person at a time
  • NNTP Like SMTP, but you do it to many people at once
  • HTTP Everyone seems to like you, despite glaring problems
  • WAP A mostly theoretical communication type that has yet to see a working, practical example
  • SOAP You like hanging around an HTTP-type person, but will sometimes be around an SMTP-type person, just to prove you can

    An alternative interpretation:
    • TCP You prefer to have long lasting exchanges, and you always know exactly who you are talking to.
    • UDP You utter short phrases and you don't care if you are heard or not. Sometimes you aren't talking to anybody in particular.
    • ICMP You exist only to faciliate conversations between other people but you don't have anything to add to the discussion yourself.
    • IPX You are amish. You refuse to do things the modern way and you don't speak directly to non-amish people.
    • SMB Refusing to speak proper English, you expect everybody around you to learn your native language.
    • TFTP You still use telegrams Stop Nothing wrong with that Full Stop
    • SMTP You are a mailman.
    • NNTP You hold meetings for everything that you do.
    • HTTP All you want to know is "What are you asking of me?"
    • WAP You don't have much to say, but you can heard far and wide.
    • SOAP You are Charles Dickens. Paid by the word, you tend to write much more than you need to get the point across.

    Did you know that WAP stands for Wasn't Actually Possible?

    I can't really say that I am one protocol, I would rather think of myself as an old clunky server, with a bunch of ports open. (going by Schemer's definitions)

    • If I am talking code, I would say UDP, definetely. (but they either walk away or their eye's glaze over)
    • TFTP at home, I have a 7 year old and 2 year old twins, essential details are important.
