My self-summary
An open relationship is a relationship that does not contain any of its boundary points.

Une relation ouverte est une relation qui ne contient aucun de ses points de frontière.

I have a very restricted set of interests, containing only mathematics, programming and physics. I also happen to be fascinated by most of biology, although I am far from being knowledgeable in the field. If the intersection of this set with your set of interests is ∅, I'm probably not interested in you.

J'ai un ensemble très restreint d'intérêts, contenant seuls les mathématiques, la programmation, et la physique. Je suis aussi fasciné par la plupart de la biologie, mais je suis loin d'être connaissant dans ce domaine. Si l'intersection de cet ensemble d'intérêts avec le vôtre est ∅, je ne serais probablement pas intéressé par votre personne.

I have a fairly questionable and mostly immature sense of humour to which nothing is taboo; I guess it's just what happens when you hang around on the Internet for too long.

J'ai un sens de l'humour assez particulier et immature, pour lequel rien n'est sacré; je suppose que ce n'est qu'un effet secondaire d'un séjour trop prolongé sur Internet.

Oh well, since we live in a society mostly composed of unenlightened human beings, I am compelled to add this paragraph. Needless to say, given the crucial importance of logic in my life, I strongly dispel discrimination of any kind as illogical and harmful. If you are racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, etc., feel free to argue with me; I know I'm right and I will prove it in a logical manner, although I might bail out and give up after a few hours if you seem to be fractally wrong. Humour is a quite separate issue, and I do madly enjoy discriminatory jokes so long that everyone knows that it's just a play on stereotypes and nothing more. Among other things that I find very important (whose importance I can logically prove, of course) are sex-positivity, unlimited free speech, the right to privacy, the right to anonymity, and the right to cryptography. I don't want to have children, both for rational and personal reasons.

Bon, étant donné que nous vivons dans un société majoritairement composée d'êtres peu éclairés, je me sens contraint de rajouter ce paragraphe. Il va sans dire, étant donné l'importance cruciale de la logique dans ma vie, je suis opposé à toute forme de discrimination, considérant celle-ci comme illogique et nocive. Si vous êtes raciste, homophobe, transphobe, sexiste, etc., soyez libre d'argumenter; je sais que j'ai raison et je le prouverai de façon logique, mais il se peut que j'abandonne si je vois que vous êtes erroné(e) fractalement. L'humour est une affaire bien différente, et je savoure follement les blagues discriminatoires en autant que tout le monde sait que ce n'est que des stéréotypes et rien de plus. D'autres choses que je trouve très importantes (dont l'importance je peux logiquement prouver) sont la "sex-positivity", la liberté d'expression sans limite, le droit à la vie privée, le droit à l'anonymat et le droit à la cryptographie. Je ne veux pas avoir d'enfants, pour des raisons rationnelles et personnelles.

EDIT 2013-04-25: agh fuck, now I'm (medically speaking) overweight (BMI 27.1±0.7). No, I'm not being discriminatory against fat people, I'm just pointing out that, statistically, I am far more likely to be attractive to a random individual if I am thinner. Better start working out.
What I’m doing with my life
Studying in Physics-Mathematics at uOttawa (oh crap you can pinpoint my identity at this point). And various programming (sometimes plus physics/maths) projects in my free time.
I’m really good at
Maths (things I like: discrete math and proofs (group/ring/number theory!), linear algebra, DEs and numerical approximations thereof, Fourier Transforms, computer science, etc.)
Programming (languages: x86-32/-64 assembly, C, Lisp, Python, Pascal, bash, Javascript, and some others)
Physics (not recursively enumerable)
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
When it comes to music, well, nearly anything fits the bill except for (c)rap and post-year 2000 commercial music (with quite a few notable exceptions on both counts). Aside from that, there's no discernible pattern ruling my musical tastes. To illustrate that, here's a very incomplete list of bands/artists/songs I've listened to recently (in no particular order): "Abba", "Sting", "Vangelis", "Ayreon", "Jean Michel Jarre" (holy shit this guy is awesome), "Kylie Minogue", "Sonata Arctica", "Blind Guardian", "Rhapsody of Fire", "Lara Fabian", "Joe Dassin", "Selena Gomez - Love you like a love song", "Gregorian - Moment of Peace", "Sak Noel - Loca People (What a Fuck)", "Sam Brown - Stop", "Britney Spears - Criminal", "Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams", "Dvořák - Symphonie Nr. 9 e-moll Allegro con fuoco", "Black Eyed Peas - Shut Up", "Coolio - Gangsters Paradise", "S Club 7 - Don't Stop Moving". I also listen to classical and Latino music. There are also a large number of completely random (and, some may argue, embarrassing) songs that I just happen to like (e.g. soundtracks from Dragon Ball).

Movies and shows, well, I have a terrible title memory so forget about me reciting anything too specific. I know Space Odyssey 2001 was pretty good. "IT Crowd" was really great. I'm (not?) particularly proud of this, but I watched the entire Dragon Ball, DBZ and DBGT series within a time frame of two weeks. I finished five seasons of Doctor Who in a week (I know, I'm horrible).

I have the same title memory problem with books as well. Only few titles come to my mind, such as "Nineteen eighty-four" or "Ender's game". I do remember reading a lot of Isaac Asimov at some point. "The Mind Net" by Herbert W. Franke was awesome.

As for food, I cook my own from raw and cheap (and mostly frozen) ingredients or buy precooked stuff if I don't have enough time to cook (e.g. during exam period). I eat nearly anything and I like raw garlic/onion (in combination with things, not by themselves!). I love Gallus gallus domesticus and thank it for its delicious meat and eggs.
The six things I could never do without
• water and nourishment
• a functional bathroom
• a secure laptop (i.e. running only open-source software), and its power supply
• backup laptop
• a functional Internet connection
• electricity to make it all work!

I don't require much in the physical world. If I have all of the above items I'm happy.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
I spend a lot of time thinking about my favourite things. What are they?

(To the tune of ,,My Favourite Things'' from the old movie ,,Sound of Music'')

Discrete math and proofs and big-O notation
DEs and Fourier and approximations
Searching and matching and parsing on strings
These are a few of my favourite things

Car and cdr and lambda and eval
Finding the structure of a nanocrystal
Graphs and subgraphs and vertex coverings
These are a few of my favourite things

Schnorr groups and DH and light quantization
Interpreted bytecode and JIT compilation
Macros and gensyms and static scoping
These are a few of my favourite things

When the kernel hangs
When my eye stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel
So bad
On a typical Friday night I am
doing exactly the same as every other night -- a maths/physics assignment, or programming. Or procrastinating on the Internet or on IRC (if you want to know what server/channel/nickname you'll have to message me).
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
