Some nice nuggets of personal information there about the Original Computer Geek. I especially like the concept of a centrally located dustbin.
On a related note I've been thinking lately of scheduling algorithms that we could apply to our bathroom use. As some of you might know, I share quarters (also dimes and dollar notes) with a Cheshire Cat, and we currently employ the Greedy Algorithm a.k.a. the Jungle Law.
I have remarked before how my partner uses the oblivious strategy that results many times in concurrency issues (thank God for semaphores).
I liked, for instance, the bit about him wearing his bicycling helmet within buildings sometimes.
