Feed Description: Scott Hanselman's ComputerZen.com is a .NET/WebServices/XML Weblog. I offer details of obscurities (internals of ASP.NET, WebServices, XML, etc) and best practices from real world scenarios.
I've been getting philosophical about my the beginning of my fourth
decade and I realized two things:
A. I've never owned a suit. I look OK in one (see tux pic at left :) ) but I
always feel like I'm playing grownup. (Don't most geek-types feel that way
in a suit?) So, clearly I needed a suit. I went into Bachrach and
walked out decked out. I'd show you a picture but the 'net can only handle one
photo of me dressed up.
2. Then, I bought a Roomba. Yes, I needed
a suit, but really, I seriously needed a Robotic Vacuum. They both go nicely
with my watch.
I'm seriously digging the vacuum. It's stupid, mind you, but it's effective.
I thought it would be smarter and map out the room and figure out the most effective
way to clean. But no, it just drives around randomly and based on the size of
the room and the time that it runs they can mathematically prove that they'll cover x area
in y time. Kind of a cop-out but it works, eh?
I've happily left it to vacuum the entire top floor (900 sq. ft.) of our 1800 sq.
ft. house and it manages the task in about 90 minutes before the batteries poop out.
Shame it doesn't have mscorlib on it...anyone else have a suit AND a robot hoover?
