a Traveller’s blog..

September 8, 2006 at 4:20 pm (Germany)

Seems my random attempts of finding out about Euro/German culture keeps rolling forward despite their well, random qualities.

Today’s find: Matt. I’ve gotta say, I’m really jealous of his ability to ‘go’. I’ve personally came so very close to having such abilities– right now my work is 100% telecommuting from 300 miles away. It’s great, but hard to ‘get work done’ with the lack of an actual office. & since my job is transitioning more towards clients, that means being local is becoming necessary. Drat. No continent-hopping for me.

But Being a web-programmer by trade, Matt’s blog has what we’ll call today’s “geek quote of the day”:

I returned the volley with a more left-brained challenge: give me the highest prime number under 10,000. He opened his laptop, wrote a prime number generator, and gave me the answer in 5 minutes

Good man.

    heh, I like that. I think I even wrote one of those way back when I took C Programming.

    None too shabby.

    And the grammar Nazi is going to try not to proofread your text too hard, k?

    I purposefully started that sentence with ‘But’ I’ll have you know!

    I hadn’t even noticed that one – I do that in my writing all the time. *sigh* You’re gonna make me point it now, aren’t you?

    “I’ve personally come so very close to having such abilities…”

    There. Now don’t you feel just a little bit better? ;-)
