Richy's Random Ramblings

Poll: Personality Disorder

Personality DisorderWell, according to the Personality Disorder Test, I have a very high chance being Schizoid:

People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. They genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity.

Well, I don’t tend to avoid relationships – but I do tend to keep myself to myself and I’m not bothered whether I’m popular or not.

They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact.

Any sort of computer work is a solitary sort of job, although I have had jobs where I came in contact with several hundred people a day! I don’t mind either way.

Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance.

Disagree with the first part, agree with the latter.

They are perceived as humourless and distant and often are termed “loners.”

Ditto.

I’m also at a moderate chance of being Schizotypal (mild schizophrenia) – which I do agree with as I’m of the belief that everybody is schizophrenic to a degree (if you think you’ve got a consciousness isn’t that “a voice in your head talking to you?”).

Make of it what you will…

Guess That Movie: LVIII: SouthPark: Bigger, Longer, Uncut

Guess That Movie 58Righto, it seems Kymberlie was on the ball yesterday and managed to recognise round 57 as being from “Men In Black” within 20minutes (earning her another 100 points), but let’s see how you all fair in this round of Guess That Movie.

No winner

Snippet: Server Downtime

*snippet* Just so everybody knows, the Beebware network of sites (which includes my personal blog) will be unavailable for 30-60 minutes today whilst server maintenance is carried out: so if you suddenly get “Could not reach server” errors, don’t worry – just have a cup of tea and a slice of toast and come back later.

The next Guess That Movie image won’t be up until the server maintenance is complete: so give it until around 1700 BST (1600 GMT)

Poll: What’s your Snob Status?

39% snob“The Edwardian era was rife with snobbery – people at the top of society could justify being 100% snobs and those at the bottom knew their place. But just how much of a snob are you?”.

I’m a mere 39% of a snob – “some hope of becoming a decent human being in the near future”. Cool – I’ve always wanted to become a human being, I’m getting fed up of just being a bog-standard carbon based biped 😉 “Just keep working on that attitude: don’t forget that the sick, the poor and uneducated are people too.” But I never forget, people are there to do my bidding and the moor uneducated and sick there are the more “easy to manipulate” they are 🙂

Net: I’m Off To Space!

Certificate of ParticipationFirda pointed me towards the Deep Impact: Send Your Name to a Comet site and now my name is now going to be “included with other names on a disc attached to the impactor spacecraft, which will collide with (Comet) Tempel 1”. You’ve got until January 2004 to submit your name (don’t think about submitting a fake name as the site is a “US Government (Federal) website” and “it is a violation of US code to improperly use Federal computing resources”).

The Deep Impact Mission is due for launch on the 30th of December 2004 from Kennedy Space Center and is due to impact on the comet on the 4th of July 2005.
