UNIX/Linux network programming, network protocol design, Linux kernel tuning & module programming. I have interests in most software related engineering except web portal development which annoys me. Even some grandma can write a hello world site now and calls herself webmaster.

No favorite but I do enjoy Team Fortress 2 and Diablo 2 when there's time.

I grew up in the era when Nirvana, Smashing Pumkins, Alice In Chain, Stone Temple Pilot, Green Day, Depeche Mode, etc. were awesome...well they still are. Maybe I'm getting old but when settling down to programming, some random songs below actually get me hacking away: Ave Maria - Christina England Hale Now We Are Free - Hans Zimmer (Gladiator soundtrack) Clubbed To Death - Rob Dougan (Matrix Reloaded soundtrack) Memories - Within Temptation Lithium - Evanescence The Man Who Sold The World (Cover) - Nirvana 1979 - Smashing Pumpkins Radiohead - Creep Audioslave - Like a Stone Just Like Heaven (Cover) - Katie Melua

I don't watch TV you insensitive clod!

Don't have favorites here as I don't have time to enjoy these any more but last were George Orwell's 1984 and Dan Brown's last two books.

Strange but from silly to all crude comedy alike: The Gods Must Be Crazy, Meet The Fockers, Office Space, American Pie, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad.
