Extreme Englishman | God Save The Extreme

I was stuck in a conversation with a website entrepreneur recently, he was quite an intriguing chap; he built a whole empire for himself out of computers, which is always pretty impressive to me - this website building stuff that people are able to make money from.

Well we were talking for a while, and he was telling me all about how he made his money by simply being better than his competitors, and he was using a whole load of web terms I just did not understand! I don't remember many, but he did say failover a lot. I thought it was going to be a funny slang term or something, it certainly sounds like it, but it's not - I actually looked it up.

But it was so typical of me, just going along with the conversation pretending I knew what he was talking about - I could've really gotten caught out - luckily he never asked for my opinion!
