I think I fall in the “Used Rpg Programmer” category.
… and others 🙂
Yahoo has created a new game “Tech Buzz Game” that is a fantasy prediction market for high-tech products, concepts, and trends.
When you sign up you are given $10000 in virtual money to invest in various concepts. You invest that money in various commodities (Browsers, IM clients, Linux distros, operating systems, etc). The price adjusts based on popularity. Popularity or buzz is measured by Yahoo! Search frequency over time.
Currently I’m invested in the following: GOOGAD, LINUX, SPAMASSASSIN, WORDPRESS, FFOX, GAIM, & JAVA.
As of right now, I’m up more than $2600 🙂

Hold your code! Hold your code.
Sons of iSeries, of AS400, my brothers, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
A day may come when the logic of programmers fails,
when we forsake our debuggers
and break all links of procedures,
but it is not this day.A nano-second of microsoft and shattered firewalls,
when the age of midrange comes crashing down,
but it is not this day.This day we program!
For all that you hold dear on this good system,
I bid you stand, programmers of the net!!
Yeah, I’m weird like that.
Oh man, this had me on the floor laughing …
I was kicking through my blog posts just checking out what ad’s Google’s AdSense program would serve and this ad showed up…
I wasn’t entirely sure I wanted to know what it would link to … but I clicked on it anyway. As it happens, it took me to eBay … no used tuna though 🙂
Thanks Dennis.
Via Ryan, I found 20 Questions To A Better Personality.
Here’s how my personality breaks down (so to speak) (my notes are in red):
Wackiness: 22/100
Rationality: 62/100
Constructiveness: 44/100
Leadership: 50/100
You are a SRDF–Sober Rational Destructive Follower. This makes you a Fountain of Knowledge.
You are cool, analytical, intelligent (I try) and completely unfunny (Hey!). Sometimes you slice through conversation with a cutting observation that causes silence and sidelong glances (more often than I care to admit). You make a strong and lasting impression on everyone you meet, the quality of which depends more on their personality than yours (probably).
You may feel persecuted, as you can become a target for fun (sometimes). Still, you are focused enough on your work and secure enough in your abilities not to worry overly (maybe).
You are productive (maybe) and invaluable to those you work for (I like to think so). You are loyal, steadfast, and conscientious (ditto). Your grooming is impeccable (sometimes). You are in good shape (I’m trying).
You are kind of a tool, but you get things done (probably). You are probably a week away from snapping (Oh yeah).
Addendum, 2004/07/19: this fits me 99%, there is a slight inaccuracy however. We are not necessarily completely unfunny. If we have a sense of humor (I do) it surfaces on the occasion with well-timed, completely dry, very sarcastic, wit. – Chase
Of the 80326 people who have taken this quiz since tracking began (8/17/2004), 7.4 % are this type.
I think weather.com needs to work on their targeting logic a bit.
I was just checking the weather in Hawaii and saw the following:
Not many places to go skiing in Hawaii I think.
Especially with the current temperature hovering around 80F.
And boy did it snow. Probably 8″ last night.
Luckily it was pretty light weight, so the snow blower was able to deal with it. There were some parts where it was struggling though. I’m thinking that we’re going to get a more heavy duty snow blower for next year. Definitely a two stage with an electric start. Probably four stroke engine, so I don’t have to deal with the oil / gas mixture.
After clearing the driveway & sidewalks, Ginny and I went cross country skiing. We went out to Busse woods in Schaumburg. Nobody else was skiing yet, but there were a few snow mobilers (ptooey!). We were out for about 45 minutes before the wind started blowing pretty hard and made it less fun.
I did achieve my ‘Zen’ state for a little while … this is where I have a good rhythm going and I zone out of any heavy thought … just listening to the swish of my skis, the crunch of my poles, and the sound of my breathing. It’s quite relaxing.
Of course, about that time, a snow mobiler zoomed past and ruined the moment.
At least there are more four stroke snow mobiles out there than there used to be. Much quieter than the old kind.
Tonight is going to be fairly busy … my niece’s birthday is at an ice skating rink (indoors I hope … especially since Dan has asked me to take pictures) and then Ginny’s friend Katie is having her big five zero birthday.
One thing I did find out is that my contact lenses … well, my right contact lens, prescription is no longer valid. I like to be able to wear my sun glasses when I ski, so I have to wear my contact lenses. When I put the left contact lens in, I had no problem … but my right lens was all fuzzy. I’ll have to go get an eye exam soon. Maybe tomorrow.
Update 1/23: Well, turns out the prescription for my right eye was not invalid … as the new lens prescription I got was the exact same one as I had before. I suspect the lens was defective. I need to verify that stuff earlier on next time.
