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):

1. Post 8 things about yourself. 4 true things and 4 false things.
2. 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.
3. 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:

1. I once went into a job interview in paint-and-cement stained work clothes and boots and got the job.
2. I speak 3 languages fluently, and can curse in about 9 different languages.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. I have a tattoo of my wife’s name on my back right shoulder blade.
6. In high school I was one of the smallest guys in my year and I played inside centre on the league team.
7. I once stubbed my big toe on my bed post causing a displaced toe fracture.
8. The first application I wrote was a demo in assembler.

Nominations:

1. Allan Waddell
2. Michael Foord
3. Chrisb
