So here is one of my first attempts to be funny. I was 20. It was the late 90s. I was not good at being funny. There is certainly stuff in here which is problematic. I keep it here to both be transparent and as a reminder to always aim to be better. - Dan 2018
The Problem:
I'm bored and lonely. I can't concentrate
on my work. I want to go out and meet someone new.
The Solution:
Define a point in the city
of Brisbane (Australia) at random. Visit said place. Find something there
to validate coming.
The Plan:
Make a random number generator.
Feed in the number 42 into the seed. Use the generator to find a page number
and grid reference to my refedex (street map book). Also use the generator
to find a street number (just in case).
The Result:
15 Huntingdale street. PullenVale.
Uh oh. It's in the middle of nowhere. Maybe this was
a dumb idea. (beat) NO bugger it, I'm going to figure out how to do this.
erm... 18 kms away. hmm.
The Route:
I'm deciding to ride my bike out to the Yeerongpilly
trainstation, then catch a train out to Indooroopilly, then ride down Moggill
road.
