1. Meet the IT giglo
Q. So, how long have you been a tech-support manwhore?
A. ...the idea just popped into my head: "Wow, it would be really nice if I could get sex for this." I placed an ad on Craigslist that read, "WILL FIX COMPUTERS FOR SEXUAL FAVORS," and I've had an overwhelming number of responses.
Hmmm. Well, security for sex *used* to be in vogue. I guess computer security is logical. Why was this never on the careers pages?

2. myheritage face recognition flash

In another twist on the clone debate, apparently, I look like a rather attractive indian tennis player. Cool. I think it's the glasses, hair, and shavedness.


3. Semi-transparent glowing rubber bath duckies! Awww!

Something wrong with your tables, I think, the Comment link is appearing in a rather strange place...

It's missing a </tr>, and because the LJ Validator is insufficiently fragile it has inserted an extra one at the end to "make up", and this bolloxes everything.

Doh! I should always cut tables just in case. Thank you. I think I've edited it, does seem so?

Looks OK to me.

Yup, I got that too...

Which? The tennis player, or the duck, or the table problem...? :)

She is rather attractive, isn't she.

I always confuse you with [livejournal.com profile] aendr and [livejournal.com profile] mair_aw, both of whom are female, I have never met and were added at the same time as you, so I didn't register this as anything to be astonished by until I clicked on the link!

LOL. It's always intriguing how people picture people they haven't met.

your link doesn't work for me. Possibly because the JPG is in capitals, and it should be in little letters.

Ah, yes. Fixed. Thanks.

I keep not finding any matches =P I guess that's the problem when there are no recent, clear pictures of your face...
Although I did like how it thought my nose looked like Drew Barrymore.

Your nose looked like all of drew barrymore? What picture did you give it? :)

I've been using that picture for years, until I find a nicer one. I assumed it would always find *someone* even if it didn't match well. It said I matched 60% with tennisgirl.

it is a nice picture. My system doesn't run flash, so I can't tell who I am. Gosh, that's very philosophical or something, isn't it?

I could find out if you like. But I'd need a pic with a bit of a face -- I think all the flurblepics I've seen have been sheep icons, group shots, acrobatics, or surprise angles.

Is there enough face on my work mugshot?

Oh yes, plenty. It's a nice smile, but you're prettier in real life. Anyway, it gives:

> Sophie Marceau (born November 17, 1966) is a French actress. Born
> Sophie Danièle Sylvie Maupu in Paris, France, at the age of 14
> she starred in the teenager movie La Boum (1980).

And imagine how strange it was before I read the last line.

It does seem to key on position when there's nothing else.

that's the picture my sister picked out of her collection when I said I needed a work picture.

*giggles*

She doesn't look much like me, really, does she? At least, I wouldn't have picked her.

Um. I took a photo with my webcam just now, but the lighting was really bad =P I've only uploaded it onto the heritage site, and I'm not sure how to look at it again.

Why bother if it's bad? But did you see it on a page -- can you 'back' to that? Or undelete the file?

That was the picture of the duck smashing the computer, wasn't it?

As the man says, I like fixing computers, I like having sex. It seems it doesn't matter which is the service and which is the payment.

Though it would create interesting effects down the line, when I pay tax, or rent: "Sorry, I don't deal in cash atm[1]. You can have some fixit vouchers." or "Sorry, I don't deal in cash atm. But *wink*..."

Is it just me that that photo reminds of [livejournal.com profile] sonicdrift ?
