| | Name: | Ben Wilson (m) | | company / project: | @home | | Birthday: | Mar 28 1968 | | Uploads: | 0 | | Job status: | working | | Country: | Bangkok, United Kingdom | Likes:
Freedom, a choice of software from competitors, a wide range of useable softwares to achieve any given task. | Don't likes:
Being in the same boat as everyone else with only one seat. Having to take \'ubuntu\' out of firefox to be able to reply to Hotmail emails - Microsoft\'s business strategy in general. | Interests:
Sex, food, my Kindergarten students (bilingual Thai students aged 5), more food, and finding ways to make things work on my rather weak internet connection.
I\'m still excited as I was as a child when I think about the future of computing. | Languages:
English and some Thai (mostly speaking and listening) | Programming languages:
I wrote a very basic text game on a Commodore Pet64 in 1981 | Favourite quote:
Microsoft (after anti trust court case)
\"We won\'t be fighting this\"
(Followed up by more fighting and appealing with the European Courts) | Favourite music:
Right now I love Jazz | Favourite tv shows:
I don\'t watch much TV here.
Mash was great, but Fawlty Towers would rate as the all time favourite perhaps. | Favourite movies:
Too many to mention - The Godfather is kinda hard to forget, I read Lord of the Rings twice over a 2 year period in my early 20\'s, the movies were pretty much a dream come to life - amazing. | Favourite books:
Guess
Duncton Wood occupied me well for one Summer. I read it very very slowly and deliberately to savour the atmosphere, though I guess it isn\'t really a great book. | Favourite games:
Crysis was great, but I\'ll NEVER forget playing \'Frontier Elite\' on my Amiga 500.
| About me:
Creamy plastic computer with 512k of RAM which could easily be desoldered and replaced.
Lack of internet meant that you had to order disks from magazines to get software/freeware/games - send the money and wait for them to arrive in the post.
It was sooo exciting. |
