5 Things You Probably Don't Know...

I have been tagged by Roman,
and my goal is to quickly tag 5 others before Gregg, Geertjan, Lukas or James get to them:
- I grew up farming tobacco in northern Connecticut (yes, the
state's big enough to have regions). After the leaves were dried they
were sold to be used as the wrappers for cigars. One year a freak
mid-summer hail storm destroyed the crop.
- The picture in my blog shows my daughter when she was about 3.
She's now 6 and since then I've had 2 more kids - a girl and a boy.
- I'm a die hard Seminole
fan. We just ended the season on a high note beating UCLA in the Emerald
Bowl.
- I helped put AllAdvantage
out of business by writing macros to constantly move my mouse, and ran
them on server farms.
- Here goes my credibility, but my degree is in Finance. I was
recruited by EDS who trained me alongside their system engineering
recruits. I've never looked back.
Now the 5: Charles,
Charles, Angela (sorry, but
you've been looking for a reason to blog), Craig and Ludo - you're it!

Hey Brian,
I m curious, how did you find Alladvantage as a business? And what you did was created a lot users and set them up on auto-pilot?
Hmmm.. did you managed to make a lot of money out of them?
Just curious.

Hi Allan,
I'm not a fan of pyramid schemes - especially ones that take up a large portion of my screen real estate (and affect my machine's performance). And AllAdvantage let you run the same user on as many machines as you'd like - figuring you could only be on one at a time :-). They weren't in business long enough to make any money (surprise, surprise). Why, are you part on the AGLOCO team?
Regards,
Brian
