Quiz Machine App?

   How far off are we from a quiz machine app?

Two examples:

1) As you are playing the machine you read out the question and then the answer (if given). Next time you are playing the app looks through the records of previous questions and spits the answer back to you. As you play a nice big archive will be constructed. You could share your archive with others to build up a super database.

2) You read out the question. The phone picks up your voice and searches the internet V. quick to give you an answer.

Ring Sting!

All rings have now been returned. One for the lesson book.

Lay, Back and Think of Winning

   Just finished reading "Lay, Back and Think of Winning" by Nigel Paul. Basically the whole 200 page book could be summed up in one sentence:

"Follow the weight of matched money on the market screen."

   In a nutshell, if there is £10,000 waiting to be matched on the back side of the screen, and there is £100 waiting to be matched on the lay side of the screen, then the lay side is going to be taken first and the price is going to drift. Make your bets in this knowledge in order to green out.

Ring the changes

   I've now had 3 of the rings returned so it is probably only a matter of time before the 4th one comes back. Lesson learned - only ever use "Gold Suppliers" on Alibaba.

Amazon ticks along....

Car Parts Idea

Ok, here is a bit more meat on the bones of ideas I've discussed previously:

• Make Low-ball offer on every new car listed in Scotland every week.
• Assume 1% of deals will get tied up.
• Have car checked out.
• If car is roadworthy then remarket immediately for sale AND rent.
• If car is not roadworthy then have mechanic remove the resellable parts.
• Market resellable parts on Ebay.
• Charge for delivery of these parts via Ebay.

I've also won one of the most pointless prizes ever. Yesterday I received a Weleda 2011 calendar - it is now April 1st!
