My self-summary, like my self-self, is a work in progress.

J'ai des amis à découvrir et beaucoup de choses à connaître.

Trying to catch up with it.

Increasingly: going uphill, followed by coming back down. Which now I've written it out seems rather a strangely futile pastime. But the tops of hills are a good place to be, even if only temporarily. Trying to migrate my business away from application development and towards magic gardening robot development.

Kuangalia bata.

Endene.

Music:
Monthly playlists are in the journal up there *points*.

Movies & TV: everything from the sacred to the mundane, or to give examples - L'Albero degli zoccoli to Charlies Angels, or Eureka to, ermmm... Eureka (first by Shinji Aoyama, second the TV series). Recent TV: Wonderfalls, Party Down, Carnivale, Undeclared, Monk, The Middleman, The Lost Room, Eerie, Indiana, The Powers That Be.

Currently Reading:

Various computer/programming books.
Dodger - Pratchett.
Flow (the classic work on how to achieve happiness) - Mihaly Csikcszentmihalyi
How to repair everything electronic - Michael Jay Geier
Some others..

Some keyword soup so OKC will stop bugging me about adding interests:

diggers levellers people's history SOUND bottom up history social history sociology anthropology psychology philosophy general semanticshello kitty bedlinen anarchism radical democracy investigation research knowledge programming complexity theory simplicity praxis amusing potatoes the art of science the science of art FURY ironic potatoes post-ironic potatoes amour fou immanentising the eschaton nuance duende fado things other than creating arbitrary length lists of putative passions, full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing mathematics, with or without tea

Food: I cook passionately and erratically, with combination and experimentation. A slight bias toward comfort food (pot roasts and casseroles rather than haute cuisine). For eating I prefer simple, and have a stock of pot noodles for when I am cooking for others and it turns out too froofy for myself.

I like dark rich red wines with Fado, white chocolate heavy on the vanilla. Sometimes white wine for silliness, sometimes 137% dark chocolate to taste the sweet abyss that lurks behind the curtain. Porters that taste like a long forgotten funeral shroud with a story so melancholy it's banned in Mississippi, or pale ales that taste of chainsaws. Failing the above then food.

More importantly: my favourite text editor is Vim, although I mostly use Eclipse/Aptana because of Integration. I love the look of Sublime Text 2, and that command+p thing is pure dead yummy.

The necessarily flawed character of detectives and discoverers.

exactly 5 inches to the right of where I was on Thursday night.

I have worms!

mostly eisenia fetida and the ilk, they live in an evermore rickety worm palace next to the not-as-fighty-as-they-used-to-be-pigs-(guinea). I like them very much.

I take photos, sometimes I even upload them (sometimes I don't even look at them after copying them from the camera (or develop the film), I like the process more than the results).

You believe that the product of our messages would be greater than the sum of the words they consist of. OR: You think I would have messaged you but didn't because I was pretty sure you weren't going to reply anyway and it's not like hypothetically I hadn't spent ages crafting a message with some kind of meaning beyond 'Hey!' or some facile half-compliment meant to butter or half-insult meant to intrigue or any number of the other myriad games that people with lesser (or possibly greater: wheels within onions!) imaginations play but actually you would have replied and would have quite liked it if I had messaged you; especially if the message had references to ducks, either fantastical or mundane. OR: any other unspecified wildcard reason.
