Beer Over IP
============
Beer Over IP is a simple (fake) protocol that gives someone the opportunity
to hand a beer over the internet.
The code used to power the beeroverip website is distributed under the terms of
the (dual) WTFPL/Beer-ware License. This means that you may:
Do What The Fuck You Want with this code.
or
Do whatever you want to do with this code, but if we meet in real life,
you can buy me a beer.
See WTFPL and BEERWARE files for further information or go to:
* http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/
* http://people.freebsd.org/~phk/
How to use it?
==============
Just make a link to http://beeroverip.org and it's done. The person you are
offering the beer can click on the link and gets instant satisfaction!
Can we have anything more interesting? like... $FAVORITE_TYPE_OF_BEER?
Yes! You can! Check the http://beeroverip.org/all/ list of the available beers
and you may send the appropriate URL to the person you want to hand a virtual
beer.
And what if I don't like beer?
------------------------------
You can still use this website by sending non-beer beverage. Just point to
http://beeroverip/notabeer/ to send a coffee, for example. The list of all our
non-beer drinks are available at http://beeroverip.org/notabeer/all/
And if you miss a drink you would like to send, you may help the same way
(see the `about` page)
Where does this idea come from?
===============================
A Lugradian named Matthew Walster, who you may know as ``dotwaffle`` once
tweeteed this:
Opsview_IRC++ Big help guys, thanks! Now, there ought to be a site for
BeerOverIP - Scred?
(ref: http://twitter.com/dotwaffle/statuses/886306622)
And this gave me the idea to buy beeroverip.org (and .net, but who cares) domain
name(s), and quickly fetch a picture of a glass of beer on flickr, upload a
quick and dirty HTML page demonstrating that Beer Over IP is not just a concept.
This can **happen!**
So, what's next?
