Myers-Briggs test result

So for ENT we’re supposed to get the Myers-Briggs profiles of each team member. I noted a while back that I was looking at this sort of stuff. At the time I didn’t find a free online Myers-Briggs test; thanks to Rob, I now have. And the results are in, I’m INTJ. Reading through it,… Read more

High protein corn

You know what’s really annoying? When you’re just sitting down, finishing off a rather enjoyable meal, only to look down at what little remains and realise it’s got a nice little larval slug thing in it. Just lovely. So, I think I’ll skip the cobbed corn for a little bit. The Birds Eye variety, at… Read more

NetDoubler X!

So, here I am, trying to do some work and all that, and I start downloading something over a VPN connection. Then I notice that Activity Monitor’s claiming 90k/s. On a 50k/s ADSL connection. Awesome!

There’s 325, in fact, in my Keychain, which only encompasses the electronic side… then there’s things like bankcard PINs, secret words and such junk for all sorts… Read more

Dungeons & Dragons Starcraft

Yes, believe it or not, there is a D&D Starcraft map. Chris & I tested it out a bit together… it actually represents a huge amount of work by some very very bored person(s). They’ve really pushed the limits of what Starcraft can realistically do; well beyond what’s officially supported with StarEdit. Until now I… Read more

The stomach nerves’ connected to the pain center

I’ve made the observation that if I don’t eat during the day, snacking occasionally, I feel very hungry. If I don’t have dinner, however, I don’t feel hungry; I just get a nasty headache at around midnight or so. Must be an emergency override in there somewhere. Yes, I haven’t had dinner. Yes, it’s almost… Read more
