From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am an old-school grouch who spends too much time reading and too little time in the
big blue room.
- all things language and
linguistics
- computers, computing, programming and all that jazz (but not consoles) but especially
-
Python, because it has become my native programming language
-
computational linguistics
- Using sets instead of trees in categorization/ontologies (trees suck to describe natural phenomena!)
- Freenixes like
Linux (currently running
Ubuntu) and *BSD's (currently running
FreeBSD, looking into
DragonflyBSD)
- Computer games:
- general
world building, including
conlanging
- drinkable stuff
-
tea, also iced tea
- various carbonated beverages, especially
schorle and
pepsi max
- hot and cold concoctions based on
cocoa
-
beer (especially wheat and trappiste)
-
cider (English and French) and
apfelwein (from Frankfurt)
-
calvados (the cider's answer to cognac)
-
rum (especially dark and Cuban) and its associated drinks
- white wine (especially riesling from Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Nähe and Alsace, kabinett or better)
- eatable stuff, especially if not in the IMHO much overused and boring French/Italien international nice restaurant style
-
Pork is quite simply the meat of the gods
-
Bulgur is the clearly the best carbohydrate-source
- I try to eat at least one dish of
blasfemic food a week. Liberate your tastebuds!
