I haven’t done one of these kinds of things since I had a LiveJournal. Here goes.

Have you ever proposed a blog quiz, or sneezed while riding a unicycle?

Not to my knowledge.

Sweet or savory?

Generally sweet.

What are three legacy consumer tech devices you’d love to see brought back into the mainstream?

Ehhhh, I don’t know. I am not much one for nostalgia, or forming memories that last more than a few years. I’m racking my brain but I just don’t. If LLM nonsense continues to infiltrate then I’ll have plenty to say?

Do you have a lucky number, colour, or day of the week?

11, all of them, none of them.

What’s something you genuinely tried giving a go, but never grokked?

About 15 years ago I made my entire personality “if I try something and I don’t like it, I will try harder” when my job entailed interop with SharePoint. So far so good, I think.

Do you have a favourite virtualisation tech?

I’m playing a lot with VZ right now (literally right now) and it’s pretty nice. More broadly, though, I have to hand it to QEMU. It is so complete. It is so complete. User-space emulation is particularly magic. It’s also the only one I have commits in (afaik).

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever planted?

Seeds of doubt.

What’s your favourite instrumental song? Or if you don’t have one, what’s your least favourite instrumental song? If you don’t have one, what’s your favourite instrumental song?

I couldn’t possibly name one. Also, what counts as instrumental? Here are two I’m especially fond of.

Have you lied in any of these questions?

The lioness does not concern herself with justifications.
