To my recollection, in my 2 years of blogging I’ve been lucky enough to save being ‘tagged’. ‘Tagging’ has nothing to do with folksonomy, but instead is where someone links to you forcing you to partake in a meme. Unfortunately (:P), Ali has broken this 2 years of luck by tagging me in the meme 8 Things You Don’t Know About Me.
In all fairness to Ali, it’s not all bad as by tagging me he made an outgoing link go to me which means just more link love! Please do forgive my sarcasm in the paragraph above!
The meme asks for me to post some rules and then list 8 things you didn’t know about me. So here goes.
The Rules
- Each player must post these rules first.
- Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged need to write about their eight facts on their blog.
- At the end of your blog post, choose eight people to get tagged, list their names, and link to them.
- Don’t forget to contact them telling them they’re tagged. Also, point them to your blog post so they know what to do.
My 8 Random Facts:
- I can’t programme any proper languages (I’m limited to (X)HTML & CSS) but I have just started to learn C (and to a lesser degree C#)
- I speak English and I’m learning French, German and Polish.
- I have been able to code in HTML since 2001
- 50% of my computing time is spent in Windows XP with the other 50% in Ubuntu. That doesn’t count PocketPC time, though.
- I have a Wii because I’m awesome
- I have a DS for the same reason that I have a Wii
- I am a Wikipedia
- I am a massive fan of Star Trek
And the lucky people that I tag are Azhar, Neil Turner, AbsoBlogginLutely , Sarah, rashbre, Cas, Andrew and Capt. Picard.

But where’s the link back?
Well - it’s świetnie that Ty uczysz Polish
Translate yourself.
Tak, jest.
Good
Form more email me - I will be happy to help 
Tak,
I’ll have to think of eight new ones to go with the ones I did ages ago which led to this old post.
When I’m back in UK I will get myself organized. And watch out for a reciprocal tage later when I have found something suitable.
Best.
