Honestly, I find this just creepy.

You should see the stuff I store under your house...

So that is where all that stuff came from! I thought the previous owner had left it there. I'm sorry to inform you that I sold what I could at a garage sale and sent what was left to the dump.

I hate it when that happens...

I'm a retired professional remodeler which involves a rigorous understanding and practice in the science that is procrastination.

The first lesson is to have a plausible excuse.

Tomorrow!

Or quite possibly the day after that...

But you will probably tell me the same thing tomorrow.
....Is it soup yet? ....Is it soup yet? ....Is it soup yet? ....Is it soup yet? ....Is it soup yet?
I figure you should understand that quasi-cultural refernce.

Like when my kids were young and we would take a trip;
Are we there yet...Are we there yet...Are we there yet...Are we there yet...Are we there yet...

My response to that is always 5 min.

That would make a good fortune cookie:
"You're bad about getting started but once you do, you go to the end."
Especially when you apply the traditional ending to all fortune cookies.

Does it usually rain under the house? Or just under the laundry room?
Will Rogers never met me.

Well the pipes are leaking in the laundry room so I would say there're isolated showers.

This Christmas you may find yourself at gunpoint, forced to dress up like a prize twat for a festive party. While the same costumes are available for both men and women, there are some distinct differences…
Sean will be wearing #7, so don't read past #6.

Talking to Carlo around a QA question, and I got to thinking: we have had good computing ideas which we later realise were really stupid and tried to forget. So: here are two of mine for your delectation. Please, forgive me - I was rather young when I came up with these two
1) Compressing data by searching the output of a random number generator to find the where the actual data is generated. You could then send the seed value and offset as the compressed data, and regenerate the file from that.
2) Generating software by evolution: introduce random mutations in the binary file, and select the "best" working programs for round two. The idea being that you hammer together any old code which "sort of works" and the "breed" it to become perfect.
So: You come up with any examples in your career?

My current project is descending fast into "Kill The Designer" territory.

It would be rude of me to take all the credit.
But it is mine and mine alone.

At 14 I send MIT the idea, that any binary number (2^n ) can be presented as a b&w image. So running a loop from 0 to 2^n for a large n will give us meaningful images. We can see even pictures never taken...
For instance the number 7,349,940,589,383,007,744, presented on a 8x8 matrix gives the ä letter as was in the C64.
I'm still looking for the computer power to run such loop on really big numbers...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

Build a 10x super zip tool by repeatedly zipping the output 10 times. This happened when I did not have an understanding of how compression works and thought of it as similar to physically compressing a bunch of cotton
