You're sloppy on the timeframe with these, Shin! Should be at least one interview per week, really!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I don't think so. If they happen too often, people'll just become used to them and they will be less interesting. Coming in occasional installments is better.

And I want people to spend some time talking about the current thread, without worrying about "who is he gonna choose next?"

Fair enough I guess. Keep supply from overtaking demand.

Here's something I don't know about you Gem, that I'm curious about, maybe others are too: What are you studying/what is your preferred profession?

I studied 6 years at University level - Literature & Computer and -systems Sciences (those two would count as double majors I suppose, translated into US/Canadian system), History of ideas, Swedish (as in English but in Swedish), and some Philosophy. I wrote a master's thesis in the field of AI.
My dream job would be ethical hacker for some corporation and/or author.

Do you hate dawdlers, Gem?

Certainly not, I'm one myself on occasion. Although I am not sure what that concept really means, I had to google it.

Really? 6 years of high education and still the shenanigans in the evolution topic?

Other words spring to mind than "smart".

Really? You're insulting me? That's cute, man.

Do I smell a tinge of bitterness?

Sorry Gothos, but no one on this board can call shenanigans on some one else in the evolution thread without being a pot calling a kettle black.

Good interview.

...I think it's funny that she would be scared to meet Abyss. I would LOVE to meet Abyss. If he comes to Japan, and doesn't tell me, I'll probably have no choice but to commit seppuku.

Cool, can i be your second and cut your head off after you do that 'stab yourself in the guts and drag it around' thing? Can i? huh? Can i? please???

Darkwatch, on 23 February 2010 - 03:58 AM, said:

Not to sound pessimistic here Shin, but Abyss probably would.
He seems to maintain a complete separation between web and RL.
Then again he may have changed over the last few years.

Don't be silly, i have become even MORE obscure and mysterious!!!

Darkwatch, on 23 February 2010 - 04:19 AM, said:

...Anyway, this thread isn't about Abyss it's about Gem, who follows Abyss.

Oh go ahead, make it about me... it's okay... Gem's my apprentice, she won't mind...

But it's so much more fun to just make stuff up instead!

But i really DO eat peoples brainz to absorb their knowledge! REALLY!!!

What...?

Shinrei, on 23 February 2010 - 04:40 AM, said:

I've got it!

Gem IS Abyss!

-you didn't see that one comin', didja?

Actually, about 1/3 of the forum is me. The rest... well, their time will come... oh yes...

- Abyss, ...is in your thinkymeatz, meme'ing around...

This is true - I win when Abyss wins.
