I finally did a post layout, based on the one RanAS posted a page back. RanAS, I hope this derivative is okay with you; let me know if it's not and I'll do something different.

The graphics and command line syntax are from a hobby OS project of mine that one day I will set free upon the world to a resounding "okay, but why?"

e: Ooh. Is there a list of the variables of sorts available for use in post layouts? I've seen some layouts in the past with things like post count, what post number for the user a post is, etc.

e2: never mind, found the relevant file in the github repo.

Oh man that's a blast from the past.

Let's see. Desktop is running Windows 10 Pro, laptop is running Windows 10 Pro (you can probably see a theme here). Server is running ESXi 6.5. VMs on desktop include Windows 10 Pro, Windows 7 Pro, OpenBSD 6.1 (need to upgrade to 6.2), some odd flavour of Linux I was trying to fiddle with KVM in, latest development build of Araxes (my hobby OS project), and a couple NT 3.1 servers and workstations. VMs on server are Windows Server 2016, a couple Windows 7 Pro VMs, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, another Araxes test environment, and a Cisco Unified Communications Manager 11.5 + Cisco Unity Connection 11.5 lab.

I'm okay with both pineapple pizza and pepperoni pizza. You need to add something other than just pepperoni though -- bacon is good, but it needs to be proper bacon that's been diced and not just boring old store-bought bacon crumbles.

Something I had in Maui once that I absolutely loved was pineapple in burritos.

I've been alternating between (marinara, mozzarella, pepperoni, bacon, and black olives) and (garlic butter, mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan) lately. The latter is more of a once in a while thing because while the former isn't healthy by any stretch at least it doesn't make me feel like I need to go run a marathon afterwards to offset it.

;; I started using two semicolons for one-line comments in assembly a while back and now it's become habit.

I have been reading a lot of DECORATE lately while trying to figure out some of the inner workings of the DoomRL Arsenal mod. It is rotting my brain.

Tim Tams.

My local grocery store is importing them now and it's so good.

Favourite mod is DoomRL Arsenal (requires ZDoom and is one of the most complex piles of DECORATE and ACS I've ever seen). Thexare and I play it regularly. Instantly makes any WAD more interesting due to the added difficulty of new monster types and randomly inserted elite monsters, combined with the sheer volume of firepower available.

Favourite WADs are Zone 300 (megawad where every level except one of the secrets has no more than 300 linedefs), DOOM II The Way id Did (megawad inspired by DOOM II and in the styles of the DOOM II level designers, to an almost asshole extent sometimes), and pretty much anything a well-tuned Oblige spits out (random WAD generator, can do all sorts of styles of WADs and levels; a lot of them end up really well built).

I was in Las Vegas for five days this past June for Cisco Live US. It was a busy event and we had a lot of partner/vendor parties so I didn't get to venture off the strip.

I'm hoping to get to go to Orlando this summer for Cisco Live US again. I'd also like to do TwitchCon and/or BlizzCon but I don't know if I can afford to go this year. Depends on how things line up.

One day I'd like to visit Australia. I have some friends in Queensland I'd like to see. One of them might be doing TwitchCon this year, though, so that'd be a fun meetup!

Somewhere near me in my apartment building is "MindblowingOrgasms". I highly doubt it's my next door neighbour as I can tell his girlfriend is faking it.

Tool's great for getting used to changing time signatures rapidly. Rosetta Stoned changes time signatures pretty much every other bar at some points.

I've been doing operating systems design and development as a hobby for about a decade now. Every few years I take what knowledge I've amassed and use that to start over. One of these days I'll have something I'm satisfied with. My current project is more or less inspired by the semantics of the NT kernel (contrasted to what most people in hobby operating systems development do, which is writing a toy unix-like). The prototype user interface is similar in flavour to Cisco IOS (I'm a network engineer 9-5) -- my post layout is actually a mock-up of it!

Also I'm thinking of learning Inform7. I fondly remember playing the text adventures in the BSD games package over and over as a kid, so it's about time for me to write a text adventure of my own.

Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. By far the best soundtrack for a TV show ever composed.

I'd be okay with 15-25 C and between light showers and clear skies year round. I can't stand snow.

Living in the Pacific Northwest means I experience nine months of grey and rain and three months of sunlight, and rarely does it ever get colder than freezing in the winter. So that's close enough for my liking.

Less rain would be nice, but no snow is good enough.

Lots of people don't get poutine. A great many of these people have only had "poutine" in some shitty US diner where they sprinkled the fries with shredded cheese and slapped a pile of gelatinous chicken gravy on top.

Fries (preferably thicker cut; 1cm diameter will do), cheese curds, liquid but not too runny pork or beef gravy. Gravy must be hot enough to help melt the curds slightly.

This is a very simple dish yet holy moly I have seen inventive ways of cocking it up.

I've thought about it a few times. Mostly in the form of "if I woke up one morning and found myself a girl I wouldn't bother trying to reverse that".

I have had friends and more in the greater trans community for half my life at this point. I've been to the brink and back with some of them. I guess I know kind of what some of them have felt and it's not some unnatural feeling to me.

Gender is a strange thing. Sexuality equally so, if not more.
