unique things meme.

[zwol]

since half of my friends list seems to be doing it:

• Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done.
• See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another!(2.b., 2.c., etc...)
• Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life.

I have:

1) Used the phrase "If you are caught I will disavow all knowledge of your actions" in earnest. (vvvexation)
1a) Stored stolen property in plain sight in a semi-public space for months. (queenpam)
1b) Serenaded the grave of Alexander Hamilton.

2) Said good things about GNU Autoconf. In public. (elsmi, echristo)
2a) Written and deployed spyware. (In a virtuous cause, but I'll count black-hat uses too.)

3) Traveled more than three thousand miles to attend a theatrical performance. (elsmi, shweta_narayan, kaolinfire, papersky)
3a) Visited France, but not Paris.

Yeah, I've even done a couple of public presentations on how to use autoconf better...

Are there transcripts/slides of any of those? Moz could use a kick in the pants along the lines of "yes, there ARE real benefits to moving to 2.5x" :-/

I'll send you my slides, but unfortunately they're more of a "yes this thing exists and is cool" rather than "hey, you should update to a newer version"

But hey, if it helps that'd be great.
