I am a heretic. My first programming language was Lingo.

Pictures of wives, kids, houses, cars and pets: n/a.

Favorite dish/drink: let's go to lunch and you will see.

Formal education in computer science: none, except some lectures in C at CNAM. Most of this i forgot. The rest i learned by RTFM.

When not hanging around at the monastery, i'm forced to work.

I'm doing 24/7, help desk, monitoring, reporting and occasionally some web stuff.

In a few years i will retire and i hope very much that i can forget all the mistakes i made as soon as possible.

The adequate translation is left as an exercise to the reader. Hint: perhaps it has something to do with Moose or Moose.

Learning english at the monastry

Some of my favorites:

"There's a less-baudlerized version of this statement"

From Thomas Bowdler, who in 1818 published a censored version of Shakespeare, expurgating "those words and expressions... which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a family."

"Trouble is, most of the time, he's not providing the service of a quick reality check, but rather the disservice of a bum steer down a blind alley of long redundant, archaic knowledge."

"That is probably a forlorn hope, but I am apt to dream..."
