Book meme

This seems to be going around t’internet at the moment, so I’m jumping on the band-wagon like the sheep I am:

  • Grab the nearest book.
  • Open it to page 56.
  • Find the fifth sentence.
  • Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
  • Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

My result:

The process’s scheduling priorty, which is a number indicating its importance relative to other processes. (Essential System Administration 3rd Ed, Æleen Frisch, O’Reilly, 2002)

Name that Computer!

I just took the BBC’s “Name that old computer” quiz (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7671677.stm), and scored a mediocure 5/10. I’d be interested to hear what anyone else gets. I was mostly let down by not knowing any of the consoles (in my defence I have never owned any games consoles, so I would not have expected to recall the name).
