Upon hearing of the last-minute cancellation of my trip home ot the UK for Christmas, John (in Brizzle) managed to get (with less than a week to go) a Christmas present ordered and delivered before Christmas Day.

This included a map of the Internet - handy for us web designers as it shows just where all our hard work is ending up.

It also included a rather geeky coffee cup. The joke is a Unix one:

For those non-Unix people out there, system devices are referenced (on the Unix command line) as /dev/name - where name is the device concerned. So this is usefully informing me that the device in my hand is a mug.

So far, I've only been able to pipe a latté into it.

Incidentally, my roommate, also quick on the last-minute present provision front, bought me a stainless steel jug for steaming milk.

All I need now is a tattoo and an Arts degree, and can start pretending to be a Barista.
