My Oldest Files

January 4, 2009

Simi­lar to the old­est email meme from the other day, I saw a meme on Ned Batchelder’s blog about locat­ing the old­est file in your home direc­tory tree and telling its story.
For me, there are a cou­ple of dif­fer­ent ways I can answer this.  My cur­rent lap­top has a slimmed-down home direc­tory.  Tech­ni­cally, the old­est file […]

The year in review / the year ahead

January 2, 2009

I was prompted by a meme in The Bruce’s recent post (which was, in turn, inspired by another post, and so on, as memes are apt to do) to dig through my mail and find the old­est mes­sage.  On my cur­rent machine (a Mac­Book Air whose home direc­tory had pre­vi­ously been a Mac­Book Pro, nee […]

“I can name that code in 3 lines”

October 5, 2008

I gen­er­ally hate post­ing meme/quiz/test results, but thought this one was worth it…

I had to guess on the Ruby, For­tran, and COBOL, but am con­fi­dent I got the rest correct.

Album Cover

January 11, 2008

So there is this meme going around, most recently seen on Phaedra’s jour­nal.  I’m not usu­ally one for memes (well, I some­times do them but rarely post the result), but this seemed too cool to pass up.

How many HTML elements can you name in 5 minutes?

November 20, 2007

I do not usu­ally post memes, but saw this on angelsk’s LJ and liked that it’s more of a test of skill (well, tech­ni­cally, mem­o­riza­tion) than a per­son­al­ity test or “what [object in object class] are you?”

Cut for analy­sis, which men­tions lots of HTML tags you prob­a­bly don’t remem­ber, your­self.  If you’re going to take the […]

Careening Career Meme

September 15, 2007

I rarely, if ever, post the result of memes and I am a bit late to the party with that career meme that has been going around, but the results were so odd that I thought I would paste them here with com­ments.  For those not in the know, my cur­rent voca­tion (firmware) is about […]

Interesting Meme

May 31, 2007

An inter­est­ing lit­tle meme that uses those stu­pid “I sup­port” chick­let images, but stacked sideways.

Car Un-meme

April 16, 2007

This isn’t a meme or any­thing, but three things you didn’t know about my car (or maybe you did):

In the fall and win­ter, it always smells like wet dog inside.
Vir­tu­ally all year ’round (except for a month or two in the sum­mer), moss grows on the out­side.  Mainly this is on the rub­ber gas­ket where the […]

Because all the cool kids are doing it

January 25, 2006

My iTunes Music Sig­na­ture (as well as the list of included songs in case you could not rec­og­nize some­thing or just want to browse.) They're based on my top-rated songs in iTunes, so you can see that my tastes range from klank-klank indus­trial to beep­beep­boop electronic/newave to jazz to silly to clas­sic rock, with […]

Movie Meme

January 22, 2006

In keep­ing up with the Jone­ses, sub­sti­tute’s and bruised­hips’ of the world, I present my list.  I could not con­fine it to a top-5 or top-10.

Cre­ate your own Movie List @ Hot­Free­Lay­outs!
This is pretty much off the top of my head.  I do now real­ize that it is miss­ing, at the very least Kafka, Lost […]

Weekend Fun

November 14, 2005

I do not usu­ally do the meme thing, but thought this one was pretty fun and not the typ­i­cal nar­cis­sis­tic quiz: Post a photo of your­self in the com­ments, then post this sen­tence in your own jour­nal.  (Stolen from bruisedhips.)

This week­end was most excel­lent.
Fri­day, I got to hang out at The Base­ment for a while.  […]
