Properties are just personal attributes and their associated badges. If you qualify for any of the properties below, please feel free to display the badges on your own site. Having them link to this page would be cool, but if you feel like you have a more appropriate place to which to point a link, that is fine with me. The badges remain my copyright, however.
Bug magnet
I created this image as a joke because I seem to attract bugs to quite a significant extent. Software that otherwise works fine for everyone else, will crash or malfunction for me for a multitude of indeterminable reasons (you can see a testimony to this: my Screenshots section). My best guess is that I look or smell nice to bugs; if I had as much luck with the opposite sex as I do with bugs, I would be quite the ladykiller.
There is even a full-size bug magnet image, although it is a bit on the bland side. If anyone has a nice redesign to offer, I would be interested to see it.
Against smoking and drunkenness
Contrary to popular belief and experience, not everyone in the UK (or indeed the US) has a need or a desire to get drunk on a regular basis (or even to get drunk at all), and some of us don’t smoke either – wasting money on liver disease and lung cancer does not come across to me as being very sensible. Besides, the human intellect is a good thing and the engagement of such is a nicer way to spend time with people than being around a staggering vomit generator. Smoking, of course, is even worse than just setting fire to money.
Powered by Trance
This was simply a pun based on the fact that I was a big fan of trance music. It was a referencing to how I would often sit and listen to it while I worked, using it as an energising force behind my technical and creative efforts. However, my addiction has faded, as they do; this is now relatively obsolete. I still enjoy it from time to time.
