I haven’t done one of these since I stopped using LJ! Questions are from Rachael, so here it goes!
1. How many blogs/myspaces/livejournals/etc do you have? What are their URLs? Why the frick do you have them?
I have three: my LJ, my facebook page and the Hoobablog, which you are at. I created the LJ when I was at Tech, so the trolls could know what I was doing. The facebook is the result of peer pressure, and the Hoobablog is because I like to talk and I have got Dreamhost’s uber host package, so I figured I should use it.
2. How long have you been blogging, and why did you start?
Since ’02 or ’03. I starting blogging, like I said, so my friends and family who were still living down here could find out what was happening in the world of Matt.
3. On a scale of 1 to Uber-dork, how geeky are you?
Hmm. I’d say somewhere between a 7 and Leo Laporte. I know how to use Linux, I’ve used Solaris and didn’t go crazy. I’m not the world’s strongest coder, but I have put Linux on a 7 year old laptop.
4. How many monitors do you have, and how many do you use at a time? Provide photo proof, if possible.
My main desktop has 2 montiors, a 17inch LCD and a 19inch wideLCD. Sitting next to these monitors is a 15inch LCD HDTV (which I tried to use as a monitor, but that didn’t work). My crappy test box has a 15inch CRT hooked up to it and then their’s my laptop. So not counting my old laptop that I never use, that’s 5. I’m starting to call my desk NORAD. Here’s a link to a photo of part of the setup. Hyperlinked ’cause I didn’t bother resizing it.
5. What bumper stickers are on your car (describe), and how old are they?
All of the bumper stickers on my car are old. If I remember correctly, I’ve got a Thundercat’s logo, a Tae Kwon Do logo, the logo of the International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades, an old political sticker, and a WTMU-Houghton sticker.
So how it works is if you want me to ask you some questions, just comment. That’s like, what, 3 of you or something?
