Which Weird Latin Phrase Are You?

From the department of “I really need to keep up in bkwyrm‘s journal more often”
Another meme from a posting by the ‘Wyrm.
I have gotten out of most memes. I find the questions often leading to obvious answers. This meme really felt like the questions were vague enough that you weren’t being directly led to an answer. I also felt the answer fit the responses to the questions I’d given.
Finally, this one uses multiple decks for the answers that I’m not familiar with. Actually, the only one I recognized was the hermit card from AC’s Thoth deck. Each answer has reference to the deck it’s from for further evaluation. This is also, really impressive.
So…
You are the Star card. The Star is the light of
hope. Shining in the night, sending light into
darkness, the stars provide direction to
sailors and are a field on which to dream.
Humanity used to look up at the sky and desire
to be there, to find out what it all meant, and
now we have been a distance into space and have
elementary ideas of the makeup of all the
different stars. This kind of achievement adds
further fuel to our hopes. The eternal, slow-
moving stars that will be long shining past the
end of our own existence provide hope of
immortality, and the vast space they suggest
and the very mystery they hold provide us with
excitement and knowledge yet to be discovered.

Which Tarot Card Are You?

Picked this one up from a post by bkwyrm
American Pie (the song not the movie) as story-boarded by LotR
So, I am passionately working on a project at the office. I have lobbied for this project and am currently feverishly coding away on it. It takes advantage of several really nifty current buzzwords.
The only problem, it’s another version of a program that’s already commercially available. I’m trying to put in a unique set of features to make my app as compelling as the one that I’d say has a pretty strong share of this apps market.
And to allay nervousness… No, Fraser. I am not writing an LJ client 😉
I’m nervous of course because there’s only so far you can go when writing another app that does foo without looking like a duplicate. Take Word and any other text editor. I mean once you get past the page and the ruler… they are all the features. Everyone imitates everyone else. It used to be flattery… now… it’s hiding behind your lawyers.
Personally, the app that’s out now is great. I use it. I just think it has several limitations, so I’m writing my own. When I decide I like mine better, then I know I’ve done my job. I hope this app flies because I really love the technology and think people will like it. Hopefully they will adopt it. *shrugs*
Sorry, as typical, to be so vague. I don’t want to tip too much of my hat before we are ready to drop this on the public.
This also serves as a reason for why my posting has slowed recently. I’ve been deep (and happily) in code. I have many other things to write about soon.
