Benny-ology. The Study of Benny.

//intro – this is some thing from Facebook, decided to share it here as well!

What is your salad dressing of choice?
Caesar – but only because I’m boring.

What is your favorite sit-down restaurant?

My Dad’s old restaurant was pretty good – but only because I got to eat there free, hah!

What food could you eat for 2 weeks straight and not get sick of it?
Mi Goreng – although I’m not sure how healthy that would be, MSG is bad mmkay?

Black.

Have you ever had anything removed from your body?
Four teeth.

What is the last heavy item you lifted?
Our massive CRT TV.

Have you ever been knocked unconscious?
Nope.

If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
Benny’); DROP TABLE * (see http://xkcd.com/327/ – I have no idea if the asterisk works in mySQL.)

Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000?
No way!

How many pairs of flip flops do you own?
One pair. I’m not a huge fan of them.

What was the last run in you had with the cops?
Never personally had a run-in with the cops myself.

Last person you talked to?
My sister.

Last person you hugged?
My mum. (One, two, three – Awwwww)

Favourite Season?
Summer. Everything is nice and warm. ^_^

Favourite Holiday?
Christmas and New Years. Presents, and usually overseas trips.

Favourite day of the week?

Thursday at the moment – 11am starts for the win.

Favourite Month?
They’re all good.

First place you went this morning?
Shower.

The last movie you saw?

Wow – it’s been so long I don’t even remember.

Do you smile often?
I would say so – often when I find something amusing. I smirk a lot more.

Do you always answer your phone?
I have no reason not to!

It’s four in the morning and you get a text message, who is it?
My mum. Typing in all caps. “WHERE ARE YOU?!!!?!?!?!”

If you could change your eye colour what would it be?
Anything but brown would look weird, I rekon.

Not personally. My dad seems to like them, though.

What’s on your wish list for your birthday?
Something tech-related, I’m sure.

Can you do a chin up?
With gargantuan effort, maybe.

Does the future make you more nervous or excited?
Eh – I don’t really care. Live in the moment, and all that.

Nope.

Name 3 things you bought yesterday?
I didn’t buy anything yesterday, not even lunch 🙁

Have you ever been given roses?
No… *bursts into tears*

Current hate right now?
The fact that websites break up lists into so many pages. Eg: Discovery Channel, if there’s a list on “10 Things You Didn’t Know About Antimatter”, don’t break it up into 11 pages FFS!

Sleeping soundly.

Benny is away on holidays!

As some of you may already know, I’m heading overseas for the next couple of weeks. During this time, I’ll be handing over the reins to my very capable (when he’s bothered to be) co-founder, Chris Jacques – which means you’ll still get your weekly dose of freshbytes-love.

As an added bonus, you might even see a post or two from me while I’m away, thanks to WordPress’ excellent publishing tools which allow me to publish a pre-written post on a specific date, at a specific time. Depending on how much writing I manage to get done before I fly out on Thursday.

So yeah – same thing goes for here, except that Chris Jacques will NOT be posting anything here. Sorry, fans of Chris! 😛 This is a personal blog, after all… 😀

Try not to wreck the place while I’m gone, and hopefully I’ll have some awesome posts when I get back, as well as some sort of direction (no idea if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been cross-posting via Press This a lot lately. I don’t want this to become a gadget blog [that’s better left to Engadget, Gizmodo, etc] but I do post things here which I think are cool).

From yours truly,
Benny Ling..
