I don't know where this originated, but I saw a few people making lists yesterday. At first I was going to ignore it then Sean McKendall tagged me, so here goes:

  3. Landscape Gardener
  4. Electrical Engineer

Four movies I can watch over and over:

  1. Zoolander
  2. Zoolander
  3. Dumb and Dumber
  4. Zoolander

Four places I have lived:

  2. Ipswich
  3. Hastings
  4. Manchester

Four television shows I love to watch:

Four places I have been on vacation holiday:

Four of my favoUrite dishes:

Four websites I visit daily:

Four places I would rather be right now:

So, there you go, 32 things you didn't really want to know.

    Liam. It's like those pen letter things - "pass on to ten people or your dog will die" kind of thing - I'm just not in to it.

    About your website. What gives? Why does it resize my browser to full screen (I hate that!) when clicking on "enter" merely opens a small popup?! Why!? Why the music? Why the impossible to use navigation in Flash?! Nothing social about that.

  2. A liking for Dumb and Dumber is a simple litmus test for true intelligence (a liking for Office Space is the backup).

    BTW, you've never had my lasagna ;)

    Oi.... I tagged you too ;)

  3. Know what you mean about the chain letter stuff....

    As for the website, yea, it does kinda suck - on my list of things to do something about this year.....

    And I can't even claim any "credit" for it as I bought it as a template.

    But I'm more stuck in Notes client stuff - hence my interest in understanding web development that you cover so well.

    Keep up the good work..

    I've read this blog for over a year (great stuff Jake, I look forward to the new year's articles), and I have to comment on this one... I am in complete agreement with you on Zoolander. I guess it is one of those movies you either hate or you love, because all my friends hate it, and I love it.

    Anyway, Jake, I give you props for that choice film. It is quality.

    As for your TV shows... I haven't heard of any of them...
