Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else
Where do I begin on this one? It’s not like I fit the social norms…. I’m vegetarian. I run an IT company. I believe strongly in open source. I spend an insane amount of time on a computer. Some might … Continue reading

Day 21- A picture of something that makes you happy
I think it was pretty obvious to anyone who reads this blog that the answer would be something computer/linux/open source related. :-) My entire life is built around being with computers, it’s an integral part of who I am and … Continue reading

Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future
Myself. Being single means I have no particular person(s) in mind for the future. However I do love myself far too much, which makes me wonder if cloning would be the optimal solution for my future. ;-)
Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them
I don’t have a lot of nicknames, I guess in part the fact that my name is resonably uncommon, people tend not to need to change it to identify me from others. :-) Pretty much the only nickname I have … Continue reading
Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have

Day 16- Another picture of yourself
I can never resist an opportunity to camwhore myself, so here’s a picture of me having just got home from a night out with some mates:
Day 15- Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play
This question was clearly devised by someone who failed to realise that there is any music player *other* than the ipod. For the record, I have never owned a portable Apple device (ipod/iphone/ipad, etc) nor do I intend to – … Continue reading

Day 14- A picture of you and your family
Turns out I don’t have any pictures of myself with my biological family since about 2006, which all make me look far too young :-/ However I did find this picture of my other family :-P

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently
As you know, I’m a very private, reserved person (ha! yeah right!), however the answer to this question is a little too much to be putting out in public. I actually tend not to hold a grudge that much – … Continue reading
