I’m reorganising my life I think. I’m trying to apply all those better habits I’ve been putting off for my study, work and everything else. I’m going to get everything in order and stop just messing around.
Now I’m starting to sound pathetic… hmmm…

My current about me page is rather uninspiring, but then I wrote it quickly because I didn’t like having a default about me page, a view that problogger seems to share with me. But I should probably actually fill this in with some real info. One of the problems I have with writing a page like this is that I suppose in some ways I don’t really know much about myself. I mean, I know lots of the mundane facts and details, more than most people know about me, but maybe not the real essence. I’ve decided recently that all that must stop. I am now undertaking a study of myself. I am going to find out what makes me tick, and hopefully uncover some of the rust and fix some of the squeaky leaky bits too.
If people were programming languages
Published Sunday, March 22, 2009 Funny , Geek , La Vie , Programming Leave a CommentI 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 …
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.
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.
