I am 47 years old who is spends his
days managing the IDC Core team at Shaw Communications and building as many
pieces of furniture/robots/airplanes/doodads as I possibly can in the evenings
and weekends.
I am relatively tall (1.98 meters or 6'6" andalittlebit). My likes: cats, computers, science-fiction and Fantasy novels and books (Fred Saberhagen is my favorite author), building, flying and eventually "rekitting" model airplanes, electronics, photography and about a hundred other geeky hobbies. For fitness I like to hike and ride my mountain bike.
I do hereby give you my solemn promise that my web pages will never be burdened with any of the banes of enjoyable web surfing: javascript, java, noises, animated gifs or, most importantly, MACROMEDIA FLASH; the most annoying technology the human race has ever come up with.
Fortunately a couple of years back I discovered how to stop auto-running flash with a plugin. GLORIOUS!!!
I hope visiting aliens who visit our world have similar plugins for their browsers. Otherwise, any critters advanced enough to fly between worlds would take one look and blow us to hell. I guess the end of our race would unfold like this (imagine the voice of Futurama's Lrrr from Omicron Persei 8):
"Hmmmm, these humans have a rich and diverse culture so perhaps they are worth contacting. Their widespread use of their 'Internet' also speaks well of their desire to disseminate knowledge.
"Wait. This web page has moving and jiggly things on it and I can't make them stop! THIS CONFUSES AND INFURIATES ME! DESTROY THE HUMANS IMMEDIATELY!!!"
ZAAAAAAPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
