20081230 7:41am: Asperger Test (AQ Test) - Pie Palace
OK, so I'm a 38/50 where "Scores over 32 are generally taken to indicate Asperger's Syndrome or high-functioning autism, with more than 34 an "extreme" score."
Now tell me, dear audience, what is the polite way to tell a friend he should take the test?
20081228 8:01am: that happy giving feeling
I love giving gifts.. particularly when I know people would never spend that money on themselves - giving is so much more rewarding! So when I read today's Coding Horror post rambling about piracy - namely about BASIC and World of Goo - I felt bad :( I p
20081223 1:49pm: actually I'm quite pleased with myself
I've just realized - email replies - that I complained a fair bit about spending Christmas on my own. People are really quite sweet. You all know I'm cool, right? I actually think it awesome not to have to organize presents and travel plans :) I am a su
20081214 5:45am: closing out the year
the christmas parties are over and the winter freeze is on. No more work deployments. I don't really feel the christmas-ness this year. Maybe because last year I was in Coff's Harbour with my entire family! .. and this year I am sulking and avoiding publ
20081209 2:04pm: far too far - lazy or broken?
So, my brother is OK - I found out at 2am one morning last week after my friend called the cops and broke into his apartment (almost - he answered the door just in time). What a relief! I was happy and then I was mad. Why didn't the kid just let someone k
20081117 9:27am: processing input
For the first time, I will admit to being a pop-culture addict. On the premise of "research" I'm beginning to see the art in everything - but mainly comics recently ;)
20081117 4:43am: i don't want to have to interfere
I heard from my brother's boss yesterday. Long story, he's an old friend from Uni and I got my brother the job. My brother had come off his bike and messed up his ankle. He emailed to say he wasn't coming in, then a week later to say he still wasn't comi
20080901 4:51am: I went to my first Cirque show!
Saltimbanco and it was *excellent*.. I laughed myself stupid, I got all palm sweaty when they were being all crazy on the swings (with no ropes at times!), and for most of it, could hardly believe what I was seeing. The characters were so unique and well
20080901 4:38am: keeping up with the virtual jonses, lees, Nováks, garcias and ??????'s
I recently finished reading Charles Stross' "HaltinG StatE" - an excellent fast-reading novel of a theft in virtual/real game/life. Coincidentally, I picked up a couple of sampler CDs at FanExpo, one of them was Entropia, the first virtual universe with a
20080822 10:19am: what we brag about
You can tell so much about people from the things they brag about .. and how long ago it happened. Like someone in their late 20s talking about something they did in school/university.. I barely remember that time of my life.
Anyway, this got me thinking
