[edit] Opinions and skills

Boring statements, to see where I might not be NPOV, where I can actually help, on what I actually have an opinion etc.

  • I'm an expert in C++ (I bestow upon myself the title), and I know a few other programming languages, so I can really help with articles about libraries, programming algorithms, software projects, programming paradigms.
    • I'm a fan of the bottom-up approach. I belive that working top-down can get you lost in the complexity of what you are trying to accomplish
    • I am particularly interested in Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life.
    • I violently oppose DirectX and Visual C++.
    • I use KDevelop, Eclipse, Kate and mcedit
    • I don't have an opinion on the vi-emacs conflict.
    • I know these powers-of-two: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536 and 4,294,967,296 (2^32)
    • I think numbers above 4,294,967,296 and under 10^-14 are useless :P


  • I'm a Linux user, and I have a fairly good knowledge of things such as the open-source community, GNU, GPL, FSF and Linux itself.
    • I support open-source software and use as less proprietary software as possible.
    • I don't think Microsoft is evil, however I don't use their products, becuase they suck... really, really suck.
    • I like Bill Gates, really, I do.
      • I like Linus Torvalds better, don't worry :P.
      • Oh, and Alan Cox...
    • I use Fedora Core and love to get involved in distro wars.
      • I also like Mandriva, Gentoo, Debian, Slackware.
      • I think SuSe and LinSpire are plain stupid.
    • I think FreeBSD is great, unfortunately I've only been able to read about it, I will try to download it sonner or later,
    • I use KDE, not Gnome. I think that clean, quick and user-friendly is OK as long as it doesn't limit functionality.
    • I write cross-platform code, although I use Linux.
    • I belive that Linux should be used as the name for the operating system.
      • GNU/Linux is just HUGE, and the people who use Linux are well-aware, and forever in-debt to GNU anyway.
      • Also the whole argument seems stupid to me.


  • I enjoy talking about mathematics, physics and have some knowledge on this subjects.
    • I'm a n00b when it comes to analysis, but I am currently learning.
    • I know a lot about vector, matrices, and their use in 3D graphics.
    • I think computable numbers rock. However that doesn't mean I am a constructivist.
    • I like Feynman and his life-style.
    • I know a great deal about newtonian mechanics.
    • I know a bit about fluid dynamics and othe fields about physics


  • I love the internet and computers in general
  • I like online comics and spend a great deal of time reading archives
  • If I could download relationships, I would probably never get out of the house.
    • Well there is also food, but that I can always order from ThinkGeek (who says Soylent Green Crackers and BAWLS isn't food, eh?)
  • I think that stealing music is bad, and by that I mean that you should never rob a Music Store, after all you can always download it, right?
  • I use Google, and own an iPod (yeah, Ballmer, you heard me well)
