Personality Test

February 6th, 2009

InsideA Scott Hanselman tweat led me to a site with a lot of questions that serve to determine your Meyers-Briggs personality type. I came out as type INTJ. Hmmm, not sure if that resembles me or not. Certainly some of it sounds like an accurate description. What do you think? ECHO? Hello-lo-lo-lo?

I signed up with Twitter a few days ago and was not sure at first whether I was going to get anything out of it. Nobody I know is a Twitter user except my wife, and she doesn’t use it very much if at all. But I found a few people who I have heard of and who I think are quite interesting. And I must say, its making a believer out of me. I’m running into some interesting stuff that I would probably have missed without it. So I think its definitely worth your while to try it out. And look ol’ bitlizard up while yer there!

BitLizard, Blogging ,

And I thought I was well traveled!

January 5th, 2009

A rather humbling little tool that shows you just how little of the world you’ve seen in your life. Give it a try…


But perhaps this year I will add significantly to this map. I have prospective gigs in China, Pakistan and Azerbaijan. I don’t know whether any of them will pan out, but time will tell.

Why Bitlizard?

December 10th, 2008

Gekko geckoBitlizard is a favorite user id of mine that I began using when, moving from Compuserve to AOL in the days before the www, I found that my “bitwizard” id was already taken. BitWizard (the ‘bit’ a reference to my assembly language ability) now seems a bit unseemly – a bit too self congratulatory and bragging. The remedy was to replace a single letter coming up with the name BitLizard. Not only does this have an uncomfortable visceral connotation, it also has a bit of Jim Morrison-esque edginess. Perfect….

So I use bitlizard as an id in forums and newsgroups. My use of the id stretches back over 15 years or so and I’ve come to identify with it.
