They’ve obviously watched too many movies
July 7th, 2007 • chatter
OK so I gleaned this gem from Digg. According to my Google Reader trends, it’s part of the 0% crap from the site I actually click on. I won’t even drop spoilers about this, it is very much self-explanatory…
Treachery…I mean tagging is afoot!
July 7th, 2007 • 5 comments chatter, meme
Seems I’m victim of this new meme and I’ve been tagged by toomanytribbles.
* we have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
* players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* people who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* at the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* don’t forget to leave them each a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
1. In my massive DVD collection, it’s quite obvious I rarely buy mainstream movies. I suppose I have about 30 DVDs of random mainstream movies and then everything else. The biggest space hogs in my rack? Campy horror and anime.
2. I have a nice collection of rare vinyl records and I own no turntable to play them on.
3. I made my first website in 1995 (on Geocities!) and have been blogging for 7 years. Back when it was just called “writing”.
4. I have been using IRC since 1995. Since then, I’ve taken up residence in two channels on EFnet for almost 8 years now. Out of roughly 40 regulars, I’ve only met one of them in real life. On the Binrev IRC network where I’ve been for 3 years, out of the roughly 30 regulars, I’ve met about 10 of them and drink with one of them regularly.
5. I met my girlfriend on a college-oriented community web site a little over 6 years ago. The site, and its functions, were a precursor to social networking as we know it today.
6. I remember when Firefox was called Phoenix. Slightly related, I also remember when the Mozilla “suite” was just the Mozilla browser and did not need a preloader just for it to quickly.
7. The longest I’ve ever been awake, continuously, was 108 hours (or 109, I really forget which) during my 2nd semester in college.
8. I love listening to Paris Hilton’s CD because it is so horribly bad.
I don’t know 8 bloggers who haven’t been hit by this yet so I’ll list the ones I know have not:

Shalini (OK so maybe she’s done this already but frankly, he blog is the only one in my feed reader that I read, post-for-post every time. If I don’t check my feed reader for 3 weeks, hers is the only thing I do not “mark all as read”)
