Four things

Rashmi supposes that if I would participate in something like the Five Weird Habits meme, I would of course not refuse doing the Four Things meme. And, of course, she is right. It seems to be a common female trait, this being right about stuff. But I’m drifting.

Here go my four things, with some new categories thrown in for variety’s sake.

Four jobs I’ve had

• Teacher of Various Stuff
• Programmer
• Teaching Assistant
• Currently, Breaker of Software and Fighter of Sloppy Programming (especially mine)

Four books I recently enjoyed

• "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" (Mark Haddon)
• "Accelerando" (Charles Stross)
• "The Medici Effect: Breakthrough Insights at the Intersection of Ideas, Concepts, and Cultures" (Frans Johansson)
• Currently enjoying "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" (Susanna Clarke)

Four places I’ve lived in

Four bloggers I’m tagging

• dalr, because he has previously inflicted a meme on me, and we need to get even.
• Helga, because she needs to make an English-language post from time to time.
• Jon, because it would be nice to see his less computer-geeky side.
• Gonzalo Cotorruelo, because he is been writing all these good content-laden posts lately, and it makes my brain ache.

I’m craving ketchup now. I’d better go to sleep.
