Socrates Examines Technical Strategy

Discussion in 'Strategy Building' started by Socrates, Dec 27, 2008.

  1. All very anal, in an Ex-Lax sort of way. Exactly how I would do it if I were wealthy beyond imagining.

    Roll after roll of hand drawn 1950's stock charts.

    A sumptuous work area made of three WalMart plastic folding tables.

    Southern engineering evident in the two-by-four in the middle (a conduit for dropdown electricity?), also suggestive of a basement.

    All-in-all, a very fine hideaway! I can imagine my wife saying "You're not keeping all that shit in MY house for my friends to see it. Shoo! Into the basement!"

  2. Three computers based on three mice. He's naturally right handed based on the mice and glasses location (not as creative as he fancies himself). Likes sodas in cans (uses one for a pencil holder). Eats at the work table (salt shaker). Takes an important prescription medication (pill bottle close to hand). Obsessively neat (everything square, nothing stacked up, books all squared and pushed back on the shelves). Took drafting and/or created engineering drawings at one time judging from the otherwise peculiar like for the big adjustable lamp (had one for a long time meself, know the affliction well). No children (no pictures of kids or grandkids). Lighting is fluorescent (bluish tinge), further suggesting a basement.

    In brief, a hobby shop setup, not pro.

  3. Getting forgetful (scads of Post-Its) on the monitors. Depressogenic environment (the blue tinge and the dark shadows would have me in the bathtub with slit wrists before noon).

  4. What's missing from this picture (help me here)?:

    crayons
    three ring binders
    clear plastic ruler (for quickie trend line check, I use one)

  5. Yup. Abuse is better than no attention at all.

  6. Git while the gittin' is good?

    The time before last that Jack left it was just before Nwbprop definitively declared defeat. Nothing sticks to him. Neoxx certainly won't. Like a freshly flung snotball sliding down a clean window.

    Todd will tell you why he is out of the SCT tutoring business, a very nice guy, just PM him. Expect a little well-deserved abuse first, though, haha!

  8. Our nemeses have cleverly deprived us of our raison d'etre. None that remain are worthy of our wit and misrepresentation. Simple foolishness is beneath our dignity to caricature. We require massive delusions of grandeur to rise to our occasion. I am thinking of fading away myself, until Jack thinks I am dead, or broke, and unsuspectingly returns. It has worked before twice.

  9. I think that Neoxx is so proud, nay stiff-necked, that he wouldn't accept any help.

    A piece of string or perhaps thread for greater precision makes a great trend line quickie.Doesn't mess up your chart either.
