(a.k.a. Yet Another Damn Meme)
Having been passed by Ben what I can only refer to as a quadriphilic baton, here we go.
Four jobs I’ve had in my life
- Generic I-don’t-have-anything-else-to-do-with-my-summer-holiday clerical dude
- Computer programmer
- Computer technician. You know the bastards who go round to someone’s house, reboot their computer and charge £15–20 per hour for it? Yup
- Queens’ College JCR (think college students’ union) Computer Officer and Webmaster: OK, it doesn’t quite count as a job because I didn’t get paid for it, but it’s the closest to a web development job I’ve had so far.
Four films I can watch over and over
- The Matrix (original only: none of your shoddy sequels, thank you very much)
- Crash
- Dodgeball (to recover from Crash)
- The Shawshank Redemption
Four TV shows I love to watch
Actually, I don’t watch any TV to speak of. Next question.
Four places I have lived
- Bar Hill (around 5 miles Northwest of Cambridge) for the first 6 months of my life.
- North end of Cambridge: next 18 years of my life.
- Cripps Court, Queens’ College, Cambridge: second year of university.
- Erasmus Building, Queens’ College, Cambridge: third year of university.
When I get a job, it will not be in Cambridge.
Four places I have been on holiday
- Boston
- Chicago
- New York
- Washington, DC
All within one month: I may have mentioned this at a previous juncture.
Four of my favourite dishes
- Steak, cooked just enough so that it stops bleeding.
- Christmas roast: roast chicken, potatoes, parsnips, broccoli, the inevitable sprouts, pigs in blankets (the British version where they’re wrapped in bacon, not the half-arsed American version).
- The infamous syrup sponge.
- Bagel, sliced into three; halloumi, fried; jalapeño peppers, sliced. Combine, eat, enjoy.
Four websites I visit daily
- Google (although never directly, always through some kind of address bar shortcut)
- Flickr
- http://blog.dev: my local development server, courtesy of Fink.
- FreddysHouse, although I tend to lurk and read rather than post.
Four places I would rather be right now
- At work, as that would mean I’d got myself a job.
- In my own flat, as that would mean I’d got myself a flat.
- SXSWi, although that would involve being a couple of months in the future as well (and time-travelling past my own birthday).
- Chicago
Four bloggers I’m tagging
Well crap, it looks like most people have already felt the touch of the quadriphilic baton. Well, I’m going to have to go for a mere two: Elly (once she’s got her internet connection set up) and Meri.
