- Favorite Linux apps: Konqueror, Pidgin, Amarok
- Percent of computer time using Linux: 90% (school is all Windows)
- How and when did you start using Linux? I inherited a laptop my dad's work was throwing away. It had a messed up BIOS with bad APM that made Windows almost useless (had to be plugged in to AC at all times with Windows).
- What was your first computer? I was too little to remember my very first, but the first computer I remember being present for the purchase of was a Racer 350.

- How does your family cope with living with a Linux enthusiast? Barely.
- What is the first hour of your day like? I don't know. I can never quite remember it.

- What would you like to do more of if you had the time? Write. Creative writing and code.
- What do you see from your window? Too much light to go back to sleep or too little to go outside. Never works out quite right.

- What is your favorite quote? "If someone hadn't reinvented the wheel at least once, we'd all be riding on round stones." Just something I read by some guy on Slashdot, but I really like it.
