COMPUTER LANGUAGE: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]

A propos of nothing, it seems like all of our (read: mine and Liz’s) computers/phones decided to go kerflooie at the same time. Some of the kerflooieness is nothing more than your garden variety antiquated technology problems. Some are, well, strange new ways of gear falling apart, components ceasing to function, error messages that lead us down help pages written in techno mumble jumble, those sorts of things. To complicate manners further, we’re having a bit of difficulty getting back on our feet too. Maybe I’ve got a metal plate in my head that’s emitting bad vibes, or maybe it’s just have bad luck, but it seems that Liz’s replacement laptop conveniently crashes after about … oh, I’ll say ten minutes of use. Good times, good times. Anyway, today’s puzzle’s theme comes not from error messages, but from the more creative way people talk using computers. Enjoy.
Hey, if you have a bit of money burning a hole in yr. pocket, why not consider backing Peter Gordon’s latest Kickstarter? Okay? Okay.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Nice puzzle! I’m having a hard time fitting PYRAMIDS into 1A, though…
Fun puzzle. I’m not sure why I struggle more with your mediums than I do with your hards but that that seems to be the way it’s gone of late.
Whoa v Woah is my only gripe – I know that both are used but I’m a firm believer in keeping the ho in the middle
Two years on and you likely won’t see this. But whatever …
The spelling”whoa” would not be correct because 52A is one of the theme answers: “Computer language” i.e. modern computer slang. “Woah” is modern urban slang while “whoa” is not.
