The Month of Study continues, although at a slower pace today. Today, I study only things that amuse me. First up, some mind-bending recursion where I make a list of lists that list the list that list them... and see what weird things I can make happen.

So, questions to this point:

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

If you could instantly be granted one talent or skill, what would it be? One realistic and one complete fantasy answer cheerfully accepted!

and

If you had to be haunted by a ghost, tell me about the ghost by which you would be haunted.

and

What cartoon character would you like you are most like, and why?

and

A plain box, two feet long, one foot wide, one foot high, arrives in your mail. There's no return address, but it's definitely addressed to you. It gives you no reason for alarm, so you decide to open it. What's inside?

and

Pick a figure from history. Pick one major event in their story. Tell how you would do things differently, and what the result would be.



As I have said before- Answer any, all, or none, as you like, at any point. Or even make up your own question and answer it, or throw it at me. smile



What scares me as I learn more... is always, how much I have to learn. I'm left wondering at what point I know enough to be worthwhile. I'm not there yet.


Meanwhile...







Question for today: what's the one greatest bit of wisdom you can offer me?

A figure from history? Hmmm... Shakespeare!

I would... um... rewrite Romeo and Juliet... and call it... Romeo and Rosaline* and Juliet biggrin

Best piece of wisdom? Umm... treat every single problem as a completely new situation. Don't assume, don't use what you did "last time", always strip it down to the basics and don't have rules for how to deal with things. Except for the rule of not having rules.

Was that clear as mud?


*Which if I remember correctly was in fact Romeo's first love.

Hmmm... a box. I'm guessing it's computer components from one of the contests for which I signed up. Top of the line video card for sure, maybe even two of them for crossfire/SLI. There might be a motherboard, PSU, and other stuff, as well.

I'm at a loss on the figure from history thing at the moment. I may try to revisit that one.

Good to hear Fearless is doing okay. miao!!
