How long has it been since you had your colour vision (color vision) tested?
I haven’t had mine tested for around 10 years (when I discovered I was slightly red/green colour blind), so I was quite grateful for Wannabe Girl to post this link to Test Your Color Vision. I thought I was doing reasonable alright on the 6 plates, but when my results came up they nearly had me falling off my chair in shock! 🙁
How good or bad were your results? Did they have you horrify you as well?
![[Dibblez]](https://blog.rac.me.uk/photos/dibblez.jpg)
Dibblez is a fun little Flash game where you’ve simply got to get three or more “dibblez” (the little funny faced blobs) in a row – vertically or horizontally. You manage this by swapping the places of two dibblez at a time – no more, no less: plus there is the additional catch that if you don’t make a line with that swap, the dibblez go back to where they were.
My highest score so far has been 3,660 which included two bonuses (you accrue bonus points by getting more than 3 Dibblez in a line or managing to complete more than one line in a go – set it up correctly and you can get half-a-dozen lines going ‘pop’).
(Off-topic: I thought the word was spelt “swop”, but my spell checker says “swap” – oh well…)
![[Weeble from Weeble+Bob]](https://blog.rac.me.uk/photos/weeble.gif)
I’ve just caught the latest episode of “Wobble and Bob” on MTV UK (NTL analogue cable channel 12) – it’s on at 9.58pm: just before Jackass. I must admit, I didn’t think much of the Psychiatrist episode (Bob goes to see a psychiatrists, explains that he sold his house so Webbl – sorry, Wobble, could buy a rocket, and then the psychiatrist is next seen begging for money). It’s not an episode on the official “Weebl and Bob” website (there are only 25 episodes available there), but “Weebl” (actually J.Picking) has stated in the forums that he has done some episodes especially for MTV:UK and until they give the “say so” they can’t appear on his website.
There are also meant to be official “Wobble and Bob” black t-shirts (made in China) coming out soon, but there are some semi-official “Weebl and Bob” ones out already.
My favourite episode? Well, I think the first one – “Pie!” would be the one (especially how Weebl/Wobble looks around before shouting) but the two of “Bob’s Trip to France” are quite good as well.

Typical! I wait several months for a job role and two come along at once (just like buses). Yep, today I was kinda offered another post. This is a job which the agency (Computer Futures) originally called me about mid-December and said they had a potential position for me. They called me back twice last week to see if I was still available and to arrange a telephone interview for me today.
At 9am, Karl (of CF) called me to confirm the telephone chat – and I had to inform him that I had been offered a position that I was more than happy with (good role, good salary, good location and, by looks of things, a ‘good team’) and that I, unfortunately, was no longer interested. After much persuading, Karl managed to get me to agree to do the interview (partly due to me feeling guilty about the fact that he had spent so long chasing this vacancy) with the dangling carrot of a potential salary of twice what I had agreed to with my new job.
*snippet* Nooo! I was just checking my email before taking a bath (email last checked 30 minutes ago) and there are 760 spam emails awaiting me. Over 600 of those have already been “Blacklisted” on previous occassions. I’ve now got to spend 10 minutes updating my filters to try and catch the rest of them automatically.. *grrr*
