Quiz: What is your personality rated?
Jan. 20th, 2003 11:26 amI think this is particularly inaccurate, even by crappy online quiz standards. Not to mention the instinctive rejection I have for the concept of scoring personality on a numeric scale...
But, I was bored, and so you must all suffer...
What is your personality rated?
But, I was bored, and so you must all suffer...
| Your score is 33 Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out. |

I will NOT be assimilated!
Jan. 20th, 2003 12:10 pmForgot to mention, I've managed to implement almost all the required look-and-feel in the new system I'm developing here at work, without using any IE-specific code in my HTML. This means that (a) I don't feel soiled :) and (b) I've hopefully shown the other developers up as the incompetents that they are, as they told my manager that the required spec couldn't be met without breaking standards. Hah.

In the comments, some guy works out a rough crowd count to be c. 200,000 people. That's a lot of 'no thanks' votes...

Whilst in London this weekend, two things happened that I meant to lj. I always feel very aware that I'm pathetically geeky when that's my first reaction to things, but there it is. And here they are...
Comedy: Tesco have a truly abysmal series of adverts out currently, featuring horribly contrived puns. One of these uses the phrase "from pilau to post" (from pillar to post), and features a picture of some writing paper and envelopes (post) and some rice. Some basmati rice. It's written in big clear letters on the packet. *shakes head in despair*
Tragedy: This was the one that really hit me.duranorak and I were walking through Camden, and we walked past two children as they had stopped at a skip. Their reason for stopping? To pull down a "No war on Iraq" poster. They were literally peeling it off in shreds, ripping it down with their fingernails, and not just for the destructive fun of it - there was a running commentary along the lines of "We're not fuckin' havin' that. Them fuckers deserve it, they need fuckin' bombin' dun't they?", and so on. They were about 12 years old, at a guess - maybe younger.
Looking back on it, I'm torn between weeping at the sheer extent to which the media can warp the perceptions of those too young or stupid to know better, or whether to add this to my list of reasons for intensely disliking large parts of the populace for just generally being fuckwits. At the time though, I really did just sag under the weight of realising how fucked up our world is, when kids have any kind of opinion on the issue of killing thousands of strangers - let alone such a rabidly 'in favour' opinion.
