Ok, so in reading
striderhlc's LJ at one point I came across
This Post! So naturally I decided to accept and make a reply.
1. In my more eccentric computer repairs, I have fixed computers with:
* Standard printer paper and electrical tape.
* A hammer and average twist ties. (yes, fixed. Not "broke more".)
2. I hacked the fuck out of the RPI firewall with their written permission. Corrolary: I wrote my own MUD code from scratch (all the way up from Win Sockets).
3. Closet Microwave (shared with
striderhlc at Davison), and Closet Server. Enough said there.
4.

(the open and close brackets don't count, they're just for your reference. Everything else does. Please don't post spoilers.)
5. I not only program at work, I program at home for fun. The day before starting my current job, I wrote up an app for converting a CSV file into a tabled list of my video game collection.
5.A) BONUS ROUND: As of this posting I have precisely 256 console games from: PS1/PS2, Japanese PS1/PS2, Game Cube, N64, SNES, Genesis, and NES. This does not include my Game Boy / GB Color / GBA collection, nor my PC collection. I also have more RPG books than Programming books, more Programming books than Japanese books (by volume/weight, not by number), and more Japanese books than any other type of book not listed.
If you're interested in the rules, see
striderhlc's journal entry for the details.
