OK, here's that "you ask, I answer" thing

[was_tansu_now_badhedgehog]

I got two slightly different versions of this meme coming at me from two different directions yesterday.(attackships and ursulevil)
I have smooshed some of the different versions of the questions together.

1) Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2) I'll tell you what song/movie/book/fictional character reminds me of you.
3) I'll pick a flavor/color of jello to wrestle with you in. (OR... another substance entirely...)
4) I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5) I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6) I'll tell you what animal you remind me of. (OR... what plant, if you are more botanical than zoological)
7) I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8) AND THEN YOU HAVE TO PUT THIS MEME IN YOUR LJ AS WELL OR THERE WILL BE BAD LUCK FOR TWELVETY-HUNDRED YEARS (OR... if you don't wanna, you don't hafta)

Of course, the better I know you, the more sense the answers are going to make.

What I do in my job

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

Write software for smartphones, ie things that look like a phone but are closer to PDAs in functionality. What the software does has varied over the 3.5 years I've been here. I started off doing connectivity stuff (backing up, syncing, file transfer etc) between PCs and phones, took a detour off into MacOS horrors and then returned to the phone side to write a device independent application framework layer for third parties to use. I'm still spending most of my time on the lattermost, though it's gradually turning into a remote connectivity product.

What this actually involves on a day-to-day basis is some coding, a lot of swearing at phones, endless meetings and far too much burrowing through badly written, inaccurate documentation.
