The Engineered Boulderer

One more year is in the bag, and I have now reached the tender age of 27. I was thinking about it just the other day, and I guess it made me feel old. Fortunately the presents rejuvenated me.

For Christmas I got an green iPod mini from Susan. It was followed up today with a set of iPod socks from Toby (and yes, I am man enough to use the pink sock on my green mini), and iLife ’05 from my dad’s aunt Bodil. Bodil sent money both as my birthday present and as a graduation gift, I know I don’t graduate until April 13, but I still spent the money on an Airport Express.

I also got the complete Tarantino collection, and a gift certificate for the Incredibles.

Now Susan and I’ll go into Copenhagen to find a good café for lunch and do a little shopping, and when I come home I’ll see if my iLife fits.

Btw. the iPod socks are great for other small gadgets, like cell phones, to prevent scratches. A bit of a hassle when you have to make a call though.

I was looking through my files on my work computer, and found this little “gem”. The application What Should I Do? is an example of a decision maker application. The main application window contains a text field surrounded by the text “Should I” and “?” as shown below

The user, you, writes a question in the text field and clicks the “ask” button. Through the powers of randomization the answer is provided.

As you might have imagined, the answer to the question in the picture was yes.

Included in the dmg file is the program itself, a small “read me” file, and the source code for the program. The program requires Mac OS X.
