If people were programming languages

I took a daft on-line quiz on BBSpot. I don’t really know anything much about the site, but it seemed something to do to waste 5 minutes of my life. The quiz was working out what programming language I was. I think the results speak for themselves:

Which Programming Language are You?

Yep, that’s right, good old reliable COBOL. So I got Annmarie to do the same quiz and she got:

Which Programming Language are You?

PYTHON. Dag nabbit! I wanted Python. Not that I’m unhappy with COBOL, and in some ways it does make a bit of sense. Well … it make sense if you think too much about the world from the point of view of programming anyway …

Blogging from my phone

Well I got a new phone recently. It’s an LG KU990.

That was all I could be bothered typing from the phone, but it’s really quite nice phone.  It’s nicknamed the Viewty.  It’s a 5 mega-pixel camera phone with really good video recording too.  It’s a touch screen with kinda smart-phone functionality.  There’s a more recent version of it, the Renoir, which I would really have preferred to get, but this one, which I wanted a couple of years ago, had slipped down to the cheaper plans on Three so I thought I’d grab this one.  I’m really quite happy with it, it takes really nice pictures.  Oh and the phone is OK too.

Is scribe fire the answer?

Last post, I pondered if Scribe Fire’s easy convenience could improve my blogging record.  Has it?  Well … no.  Though in fairness the reason for this is that I have hardly been turning my computer on to use it in the evenings any more.  I think it’s that I’ve finally got a real job doing real IT programming work and this strange need I had to be a computer kinda person has been fulfilled.  I’ve actually written code, used makefiles, used a version control system and a bug tracker.  So now I’m kinda fulfilled.  I used to have this strange desire to read tech blogs and websites and to follow development lists and scour the internet for programmer techie talk, but now I’m kinda happy to just let it be.  I’ve been doing my techie work at work and I’m happy with that now.  Seems kinda odd, Annmarie now uses the internet more than I do, for homeschooling, as there is lots to look up and read up on.  I still use the internet to read some stuff some times, but I don’t have any obsession over it any more.  I feel oddly peaceful over this whole situation.

This does though mean that I’m not on very often to blog anymore, so once more, I’ve not been posting much.

Scribe Fire

Well, now I’m in ScribeFire. It seems just now a little bit nicer. It also appears to let me manage the extra pages on my site, but I don’t know if that useful just yet. It also seems to let me keep a bunch of pages unfinished which could end up more trouble than it’s worth if my usual blogging record continues unchallenged. Hopefully though, having a blogging tool I can pop up with a tap of the F8 key could finally improve my blogging record! Now I’m starting to wonder if I could get a VIM editor for it … hmmm …

Deepest sender

Hello.  Long time no write again.  I’ve just installed a small firefox add-on called Deepest Sender that should let me write blog posts from my sidebar instead of having to log into wordpress to do it.  It seems ok so far, but not hugely exciting.  There is another one I might try called ScribeFire as I’ve just read some good things about it.
