It’s time for blog games, courtesy of DG. Don’t think I’ve been blogging long enough to get this right the first time, but I’ll give it a shot. Also haven’t been blogging long enough to have that many people to nominate for the next step. Will have to make do.
Rules (as copied from DG’s blog):
- Post 8 things about yourself. 4 true things and 4 false things.
- For a bit of fun, commenters on your post need to guess which items are true and which are false – don’t get offended if they guess wrong.
- Tag 8 people by adding their name at the bottom of your post and notifying them telling them that they’ve been tagged.
My Items:
- I once went into a job interview in paint-and-cement stained work clothes and boots and got the job.
- I speak 3 languages fluently, and can curse in about 9 different languages.
- I once fell off a pushbike and hurt myself so bad I had actually broken the ball off my humerus and dislocated it at the same time.
- I once started a software company with a friend but gave it up after nearly being sued into oblivion by a third party with whom we had no contractual connections what-so-ever.
- I have a tattoo of my wife’s name on my back right shoulder blade.
- In high school I was one of the smallest guys in my year and I played inside centre on the league team.
- I once stubbed my big toe on my bed post causing a displaced toe fracture.
- The first application I wrote was a demo in assembler.

Even you got two wrong and you shared the same bed room as me for half of your life. Shame on you.
That’s probably why I messed it up – I’m still scared…

And does it have my name on it?
