It doesn’t make logical sense. Why does the 3-4-5 triangle work out cleanly, and yet π and e are irrational? How can 0.999… and 1 be exactly the same number? Who cares about solving lost and unprovable theorems — how do these help anyone?


Cosplay or jewellery usually. This is what I’m working on at the moment:

Sometimes I build chain mail while watching.
That’s really interesting, I hadn’t heard that before.

I found out that I’m allergic to penicillin when I was a child (in the mid-70s) and had an anaphylactic reaction. I still remember being intubated by the paramedics because I couldn’t breathe.
Five years ago I had tandem stem cell transplants to treat myeloma (blood cancer), which completely wiped out my immune system.

Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas from GTA San Andreas. I loved to spend hours just exploring, looking for the secret items, and finding the funny little easter eggs and references.
The cities in Assassin’s Creed. Can’t remember the names. Are they “big”? They seemed to be at the time. I only ever played the first game in the series; again, I loved wandering around and exploring.

What is the question?
The Empire Strikes Back
Somewhere between Debian and SuSE on this chart, because the distros at that end are the ones that I’ve used the most. However, one can never say, “I know everything now”; and I have no doubt that other people have knowledge and skills that I lack. In this industry, you can never stop learning; knowledge is never wasted (unless like me, you look fondly back at uucp and troff).
