> 1. When was the last time that you laughed out loud? What made you
  laugh?

Hmmm - I'm not so sure. It's pretty often that my children do
something amusing though, so probably not long ago. If not, we were
watching old 1st season episodes of Arrested Development last
night. Those are pretty funny, so I laughed a bit.

> 2. Do you like re-makings/re-imaginings of films and TV series?

I don't tend to watch many films, or that much TV really. Probably the
stuff I tend to watch isn't the type of thing that gets remade
either. However, if someone decides to re-make Back to the Future or
Monsters Inc. let me know, and I'll be available to have a strong
opinion.

> 3. You are assigned to write two or three fortunes to be put into
  fortune cookies.  What will they be?

* You should grow your own tomatoes. They are tasty.
* Music is the best medicine!

> 4. If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or have
  someone to cheer you up?

Hmmm.. tough. If I'm mad at *something* like a computer I probably
want to be left alone until I defeat it, or it defeats me. If I'm mad
about a a person, or someting they've done, then distractions are
welcome.

> 5. What would have been your dream subject at school, or your dream
  syllabus lesson?

I would have like to learn more about industrial history or
architecture. I like to wonder around cities thinking about such
things, or visit those types of sites online. Because I grew up in the
UK I was down to 3 subjets at age 16... Maths, Physics, and
Computing. At age 18 it was onto straight Computer Science through my
BSc and PhD. I enjoyed those and consider myself lucky I don't regret
having picked them.
