Boiledbeans lite version

—devadutta @ 22:17

Lets face it. We don’t have access to high bandwidth internet all the time. Sometimes we are on the phone, sometimes in an airport or sometimes the tubes are just clogged and loading webpages can take awfully long. Even super lite designs like Boiledbeans can also take a long time to load.

So, inspired by a suggestion from sidsen, we give you Boiledbeans lite.

Visit the link below to turn lite version on
http://boiledbeans.net/?lite=on

The lite version will stay until the current session dies. If you want to turn it off manually, you can visit
http://boiledbeans.net/?lite=off

Cracked by everyone. Yes, the middle guy isn’t a direct connect, but it was a simpler connection :-)

Slightly Modified version of a guest question sent in by Dhruva Batni.

He is the first recipient of the trophy_silver GQHero trophy! Back-end changes for this trophy are in, but it may take while for it to appear on the profile page.

Now for the question
Any short wave radio enthusiast will eventually bump into stations which continuously transmit spooky stuff like this. What are these stations called?
