I am not a NeuroTypical.3? Are most LinuxGeeks NeuroTypicals? (There is a test and some humour at The Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical. Check it out!)

My Interests

• Esperanto (http://esperanto.org)
• Java
• PlayStation2 (which does actually have a version of Linux (http://playstation2-linux.com))
• Fiddling with my Mark V Shaney simulator6?
• Creation (see http://AnswersInGenesis.org)
• and Linux.

Random Stuff

I like to consider myself a realist2?.
I am one of the youngest People in WLUG, at least out of those who go to the meetings when I do.
I currently intend to go to WaikatoUniversity when I finish high school. I think that will be fun, because I will be able to compute and program a lot. I look forward to being a professional programmer, hopefully with Java on Linux.

I wonder whether the name-choosers for MacOSX realized that it doesn't use X.;)
Did you know that SPAM can stand for either SPiced hAM or Specified Processed American Meat?
...or unofficially, "Squirrels, Possums And Mice"; you can never really be sure :)%%%%%%

Silly Nonsense

These quotes provide 500% of your recommended daily intake of nonsense.1?
There were two sausages in a frying pan. One said to the other, "Do you think we're going to get fried?!"
The other one said, "Oh my blasphemy! It's a talking sausage!"

"In North America, some people say there are alligators in the sewers."
"Do they alligate that?"%%%%%%

Shaney Quotes6?

• You have no right to think I'm delusional that I do hang around with a lot of fun because I have a life.
• Psychiatrist: "How do you reconcile problems at school? I do not me?" Shaney: "At least I have a dead cat."
• For the righteous are as dainty morsels.
• There are four things which are sweet to a man, but in a pig's snout is a righteous man, and don't pass by it.
• He said, "Naked I came not to rain one one of you."
• Confidence in someone unfaithful in times of trouble is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his own eyes, yet are not wearing the correct colour uniform.

(Dumb) Poetry

Violets are blue
As blue as the sky
I'm not a schizophrenic
And neither am I.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Some poems rhyme
And some don't.

Ode to Anon
Nothing rhymes with Anon
Hey! No it doesn't! What was I on!

Thoroughly Poorly Thought-out Rhythm
In our modern corporate nation
We are very prone to floccinaucinihilipilification.
You must be sure, never to profane
The name of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane.
You can't permanently hide
Your lysergic acid diethylamide.
Watch out in the mines, sis:
You may get pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis!

My Controversial Opinions

• I am an Emacsian. It's such geeky fun, with so many modes, even Java... Now I finally understand this quote5?.
• I am partial to WindowMaker. Once you get adapted to its paradigm, you just can't wholeheartedly accept anything else. (Like with Linux!)
• I prefer Oranges to Apples, but I prefer mandarins to both.

• I dislike:

  • Perl (too simple, too slow and doesn't scale) (See, and perhaps add to, WhyIHatePerl.)
  • MacromediaFlash (I am a Javist) Flash is evil, if you like Java or otherwise. The web is about content, not flashy lights.
