geek love

"There is no truth in the rumour that I love computers, it's just what I tell them to get them to bed."

 -- Terry Pratchett

catalogue of pointless hobbies

entry 1:
collecting skiing boots:
doubtful because expensive in monetary and spatial terms, plus not very nice to look at

entry 2:
trying to have matching shoes for each outfit:
only possible way to succeed would be if the only color is black.. and even then it would be a hard task, finishing with more pairs then you could wear in a month (and a hefty overdraft on the credit card)

entry 3:
devising optimisation procedures for the food machine:
ends with regular frustration why people don't use their brains and my cookies are always crumbled when they came down from the top shelf...
