Morning thoughts

[andrewducker]

Firstly, a quote: "Nothing is impossible for a man, so long as the thought that precedes it is "This would probably annoy my girlfriend."

I sent off a suggestion yesterday to allow filtering by tags, and got it rejected with the reason "This is already possible with S2".

Which is just great - I want to be able to click on a tag and say "Don't ever show me things marked 'Pony Porn' again."  Fiddling about with LJ styles does _not_ sound like the most efficient way to do that.  Reminds me, in fact, far too much of the responses people have on Slashdot to the question "I don't like open-source product X because it doesn't do Y", which is usually "It's open source - make the change yourself."  Life is sometimes just too short.

And a quiz - Nerd, Geek or Dork?

Outcast Genius 52 % Nerd, 69% Geek, 56% Dork

For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius. Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occasion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject). Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius. Congratulations!

Higher than 92% on dork points?! How can you function in society? :)
(I got 8%, which means I'll probably be helping them dispose of you when the revolution comes). ;-)

Still only 56% dork. And I don't function well in society, which is why I spend my time with wierdos. Like you.
