Science was not something I had an aptitude for and with things I didn’t have an aptitude for I didn’t make much effort. I dropped science subjects for O levels. The last science exams I took I got around 16 %.
The childhood desire to be an archaeologist perhaps suggests you had an inquisitive mind .
Did you have a part in developing any well known software?
It is now 12:45 pm. I just woke up at 12:00 noon. Already I’ve eaten lunch, taken my meds, read, and gotten on the internet. I need to get on the YouTube pretty soon.
I only developed software for banks and insurance companies. These are proprietary and not available for mass download.
But more recently I had my own side project where I developed some games and apps for android devices. I will send you a link in private
Here is a fun game you can try in you free time. I advise you start with a 3x3 board, it’s the easiest.
The purpose of the game is to move the tiles until they are arranged in order:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 _
That’s always a tough question for me. I do shockingly little. I live alone, so my housekeeping standards are not that great. There are a few guys more slovenly than me, but not very many. I’ve kind of grown to like my lifestyle where I microwave all my meals and sweep my floor once every two weeks. When I look to the future I don’t see myself getting married. I might like a long term relationship, but she would have to understand when I didn’t want her to interfere with a personal matter.
I just completed a 3x3 in 70 moves.
I think this game is within your reach. Try playing for 5 min daily, if you like it of course… eventually you’ll get the hang of it.
Hint: start by making a small “train” with 1 2 3 in this order, then move it around the board, 1 being the locomotive, until you get them in the final position
Don’t give up now. Move the lower 5 tiles, without separating 4 and 5, until the gap will allow you to change the order for the remaining tiles (6, 7 and 8).
You can do it !!
Actually, you may have noticed that Lara and Taylor have had a few collaborations.
Taylor might be the better violin player, but Lara is also a very good pianist.
My favorite instrument is the piano.
What is yours?
I will annoy you with one last song by Lara.
It is a cover for a game soundtrack. The game belongs to the Super Mario series, probably THE most popular video game franchise ever. Spanning 4 decades (1980s-2010s), these games are still being played worldwide.
It is noteworthy that the song below is a revival of a long lost music style called ragtime. Popular in th late 1800s-early 1900s, it fell out of favor when jazz appeared.
