Title: /whois Camel
Post by: Camel on September 07, 2007, 01:34:22 pm
I'm stealing Melissa's questions

How old are you? 21
Where are you from? Boston area
What do you do (school/work)? work
What kind of music do you like? Tool, The Mars Volta, Incubus, and just about everything with a guitar.
Do you have a girl (boy?) friend? Not at the moment
Are you in any other clans?  BNU
What's your favourite tv show? House
Movie? The Shawshank Redemption
Band? Tool
Type of weather? Thunderstorms
Subject in school? Math/science
Drink? Vodka Martini, dry, shaken, olives
Author? I read lots of O'Reilly books for work
Sport? Snowboarding/swimming
Bird? If it doesn't chirp at 5AM, it's a good candidate

[edit] More fun facts!

Work - I work at Airvana (http://"www.airvana.com") in northern Massachusetts. I'm a member of a team that supports a database to represent an object model used by the front-line developers for various products in the wireless broadband industry. I do most of my work in Java and [incr TCL/TK], although there's a fair amount of C and shell scripting.
OS - I've got server machines with Gentoo Linux, a desktop with Windows/XUbuntu, a MacBook with OSX/Gentoo, and my work computer is all windows.
Desktop environment - XFCE baby!
School - I've completed two years towards my bachelors degree in Computer Science at WPI, and maybe some day when I can come up with the $100,000 I need in order to finish the degree, I will. If not, that's fine too; I've already taken every CS class they offer anyways.
School chant - E to the X, dY, dX, E to the X, dX. Cosine, secant, tangant, sine, 3 point 1-4-1-5-9. E, I, radical PI, fight 'em, fight 'em, WPI!
Best fortune cookie of all time - The only true love is self love.

Geese honk at 5AM, especially on the weekends. But those make a pretty lousy candidate. I hate geese!

They poop a lot, too. They pretty much ruin every park there is in Canada.

Yeah, there are a ton of them here in late fall/spring too.  The walkways become littered with goose crap.

One of the kids in my residence hall last semester wrote "KILL THE GEESE" with sidewalk chalk outside of the building.  I don't think it inspired anyone, but I wish it would have. :(

Some people from my development (it's a somewhat rural area) go goose hunting with slingshots. :P

They don't ruin every park, at least not the ones in Winnipeg, only the areas near water.

I've only been to Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec. That's a bit far west for my taste. :P

I live next to a lake... geese like to fly over the middle school field... We like to attack them with whatever ball our PE sport was playing... say for instance... hitting golfballs at them... or baseballs... or street hockey puck.

Nevermind bigazndaddy's unsophisticated views (e.g. racism).

Where are you from? Boston area
Where abouts? I live a little ways off, in Framingham. I'm in boston all the time though, since there isn't shit to do here.

Our junior PE has archery. Those geese didn't even know what they had coming.

But obviously, you aren't allowed to shoot arrows straight up...

I grew up in Lexington. I live in Nashua, NH now. I still spend a lot of time in Worcester though, since all of my friends from college either still live there or still go back to hang out.

We did that in high school too. Good times.
