Interview meme

Tuesday, October 12th, 2004

The rules of this meme:

1. Leave a comment saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I’ll reply and give you five questions to answer.
3. You’ll update your LJ with the five questions answered.
4. You’ll include this explanation.
5. You ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.

Interview by :

- What is your earliest memory of something OTHER than computers?

Falling over on a yet-to-be-carpetted floor and cutting my hand.

- Summarise in a pithy epithet your attitude to life

Don’t hide behind euphamisms, knee-jerk morality and wallpaper-words.

- What is the most life-changing experience you have had in the last year or so, if anything?

Moving house.

- Any advice for anyone wishing to be where you are now?

Go up Trumpington St to the top of Lensfield road. Just opposite the Post Office is the entrance to the Engineering Department. Go into the main building, in lift, third floor, out and to the right. Carry on through the double doors and go into the lab on the left. Turn right and head for the far left-corner.

- Do girls really just wanna have fun?

No

Today I are bin’ mostly playing with GNUStep. It certainly has made me realise how much of OS X came with Steve with NeXT. Its a lovely little environment and the mail-client has the coolest threading features of any MUA I’ve used. I guess I’m being converted….

It still has the bloody Dock though :)
