One
“One” said the bit.
“Zero” said the bit next to it, registering the other bit’s surprise, who for convenience’s sake shall be called Vince as bits don’t really have any other distinguishing features, let alone proper names. George, the bit to whom Vince was talking to, had only just woken up and was in the process of brushing its teeth.
“Zero” George said again, as if in a single binary digit it could express the concept that it wondered what has made Vince so excited that it would want to share it with its neighboughs.
“One” replied Vince, as if to say ‘look, the lazy student type who is meant to control this place has finally done something with it’.
“Zero” commented George: ‘about time too if you ask me, place had grown stagnant with the lack of content’.
“Zero” came a shout from across the magnetic platter, basically meaning ‘what right have you and you got to wake poor tired bits up this time of the morning?’
“One” shouted Vince, gesturing in the direction of the blog.
“Zero” came the reply. Apparently that isn’t good enough news to warrant waking a bit up, so it was going back to sleep.
And so the blog sat there, waiting for some real content to appear, something inspired, perhaps with a bit of humour, if you’re lucky. George and Vince wondered quite when that day would arrive…
