The Political Compass strikes again.

I'm apparently:

Economic Left/Right: -5.62
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.54

Lefter and Libertrarianer than thou, baby.

Hey, metalrabbit, get your brother to do this one. I'm be fascinated to find out where he is on it.

I wandered out to use my hour of lunchtime in some hunting for stuff. I needed an eggtimer, or something of the sort, so that I can prevent segments of Age of Legends from running overtime. It's a three-minute timer, so the game can run in three, six, or nine-minute segments - I'm in favour of six, I think. And I needed an adaptor for the new position of my desk, so I can use laptop and desk lamp at the same time. I found the adaptor without too much hassle. But finding the egg-timer took for EVER. I tried every stuff shop, junk shop, charity shop and hardware shop in Dun Laoghaire, I think.

However, in my travels, I also noticed Dun Laoghaire library being open, and pounced on the oppurtunity to go in and join. I was signed up in seconds, which was nice, and got myself five books: The Rise and Fall of the East India Company, Brooks's A Social History, Imperial China, Byzantine Civilisation and William Gibson's Idoru, which I was sure I'd read before, but which looks unfamiliar all the same. I have them until the 29th. While the books are very battered, I like the feel of the library - a good place, and the staff were very pleasant.
