There will be a FW post forthcoming.
The camp site that clan sidhefire is staying at has no cell signal. Eugene, OR has cell signal, but not Sprint Edge (which gives me digital data)
My host and I have been trying to get me on his wifi which is stunningly well protected.
Finally got on for a few now. Catching up on email and the like.
FW post will hopefully be forthcoming.
Tricky Pixie absolutely rocks.
So, money is still tight and the job search continues (slowly. Much like molasses dripping from a spoon)
Obviously, I’ve stopped playing games that cost money. Poker I only play for free now. And well, stock market… that’s always been a play game for me.
So… last week I returned to HSX. Hollywood Stock Exchange. An interesting wrinkle on the analysis of Hollywood films. The basic rules are quite simple. No one can have more than 50K shares of a film. (Either owning or owing). The value of a share depends on how much demand there is for the shares. Over opening weekend there is an adjustment. (Much like a quarterly report)
The adjustment goes: Share value = H$2.8 for every $1(M) the film makes during opening weekend. If a film makes, oh…$10 Million for the weekend. (which a certain film that you must see did), the stock is adjusted to H$28(ish) / share. Those that ran up the price to $45 (Expecting a $16(M) opening are thus disappointed and lose money in their portfolios.)
It’s interesting if these things amuse you. And if they do, here’s where I put in my referrer link. Check it out for a week or two. Kinda nifty. Yeah, sure, I get little bonuses if you use my referrer link, but in truth… I think it’s … well for lack of a better word… “Shiny”
Give it a whirl… and if you’re on… I’d love to hear your reaction.
