I love making friends.... it's people I can't stand.

It's what I call "mental masturbation", when you engage is some pointless intellectual exercise that has no possible meaning.

I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.

I don't go to conferences quite as much as I used to: having a child and movin away from the university leaves me with less time, but I've tried to balance things out - not just spending time with Linux all the time, but having a real job and a real life at the same time.
