I am a Music Geek turned Computer Geek.
I'm also a girl, which compounds the problem.
I love to discuss: Politics, Literature, History, Philosophy, Love . At length. In written form. Run, I tell you. Run .
Things I'm NOT inclined to discuss:
- fashion. I'm a future software engineer, not Coco Fucking Chanel.
- How long it took me to get a driver's license
- Clueless computer users and the way they tend to end up at my door at 3 a.m.
- Hardware stats, processor speed and the like. Get a life, son.
- Fancy food. I'm a vegetarian, the opposite of a gourmet, and have been known to live happily on risotto for weeks on end.
Special features:
- Perfect pitch
- ability to move left ear
- Good memory for song lyrics.
- Poor memory for keys, birthdays, mittens and items left boiling on the stove.
Not to suck up to you people, but I knew I'd love this place - someone ought to put a giant "Welcome to Geek Heaven" on the front door. I must have read half the nodes on this side as a guest user over the years, so if you've been noding for a while, chances are I've read and enjoyed some of your work. I'm still a bit intimidated by the scores of clever people here, though. This is going to be a humbling experience.
Thousand and one projects I might tackle in this lifetime:
- The parable of the three rings I did a lot of research and am now thoroughly afraid to screw it up
- Middle High German inspired by spiregrain's excellent nodes about Carmina Burana
- Old High German (see above)
- Ferenginar for shits and giggles. Yes, I am a trekkie.
- G. Piatigorsky world-famous cellist and author of one of the best musician autobiographies I've ever read
- Nikolaus Harnoncourt famous conductor who'd deserve a better author for his writeup. Karajan, go home.
- Reingold-Tilford algorithm don't hold your breath - this reeks of hard work
- Lili Palmer , and maybe Rex Harrison Lili Palmer's autobiography is another must-read
- Mendelssohn's 'Elias' a classic node-your-homework case: I'll keep it shorter than the original 15 pages, though
