Randomness

If you hear the clicking of knitting needles and you don't see much of me I am busy knitting.


I have one blanket I'm working on right now.

As SOON as I am done with that one I'll start on another. (Which I can hopefully get done before the end of the month!)

And than 1 more after that!!!

I'm impressed at your speed! I'm just trying to get through my first sweater right now (click click click), adn I don't think it'll be wearable until spring!

Knitting looms are your friend....especially if you have a lot to do in a very short time!

Okay, I fell for this quiz thing too.

You Are Apple Green



You are almost super-humanly upbeat. You have a very positive energy that surrounds you.
And while you are happy go lucky, you're also charmingly assertive.
You get what you want, even if you have to persuade those against you to see things your way.
Reflective and thoughtful, you know yourself well - and you know that you want out of life.

What Color Green Are You?

I'm Apple Green as well.

Sounds very Phloxist.

This is what it said about me. I'm Olive Green.



You are the most real of all the green shades. You're always true to yourself.
For you, authenticity and honesty are very important... both in others and yourself.
You are grounded and secure. It takes a lot to shake you.
People see you as dependable, probably the most dependable person they know.


Ummm...okay. Takes a lot to shake me? Not too sure about that one.

Sorry, CX, for forgetting that you were emerald. Emerald green is actually my FAVORITE color. Actually I think you are a diamond in the rough. But that was not one of the choices, right?

I thought we were similar in perspective, Bether! Hey, remember that other personality test we all took in another thread that gave us four letter personality types? I remember mine was INFJ. I wonder how this color one lines up with that? This color one had a lot fewer questions, so I can see how some of us are thinking another 'color' fits them better.

I took the quiz it says I'm a Teal Green.

[CoffeeCat]

I'm a grass-green hippie.

[HopefulRomantic]

I'm Apple Green as well.

Great! We can't have enough optimists in the house.

[Emberchyld]

I'm Teal Green.

This line: "While you are a bit offbeat, you don't scare people away with your quirks." Had me laughing out loud. I tend to hear something like that regularly.

[JadziaKathryn]

I got Emerald Green, but there were a couple that were very close, so then I got Olive Green, and I think I'm a mixture of both.

[TPoptarts]

Okay I'm a really weird person. Like I name my peers (in the downloads) after their IP numbers and then I yell at them (like not out loud I'm not THAT insane yet, just in my head) when they drop my pieces.

The agency that governs educational technology in the United Kingdom has advised schools in the country to keep Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)'s Windows Vista operating system and its Office 2007 software out of the classroom and administrative offices...

...The agency said U.K. schools can consider using Vista or Office 2007 software only when they are buying new batches of PCs. Even then, however, they're advised to take a long looked at alternatives based on Linux and other open source products, such as the OpenOffice.org desktop package.

"Schools and colleges should make pupils, teachers and parents aware of the range of free-to-use products (such as office productivity suites) that are available, and how to use them," Becta said.

The report's conclusions could end up costing Microsoft millions of dollars in lost sales in the U.K. public-sector market.

Becta's advisory mirrors similar moves taken by public agencies in the United States. Last year, the Department of Transportation placed a ban on the use of Windows Vista, Office 2007, and Internet Explorer 7 because of cost and compatibility concerns.

Too bad the US didn't do something like that. The Uni here has already put that software on most of is public computers. At least the USDA has wised up and isn't going to "upgrade."
