This fortnight's interview is with ArchAngel! How did you find out about CCN?[\b] [b]What kind of job do you have? Do you enjoy your job at the campus/city library? Do you expect to enjoy your internship at NASA? How old are you? How long have you been working with computers? What was it about the computer that interested you? What is it about the computer that interests you now? Are you a coder? What IDE do you use? What languages do you know/program in? What operating system(s) do you normally use? Why do you use them? What other operating systems do you semi-frequently use? Why do you use them? What other things do you enjoy doing on a computer? Do you prefer Email or Instant messaging when communicating with someone? What kind of Email/Chat client do you use? What's it's name? What are the specs of your home and/or work computers? I plan on putting together a RAID system. Say goodbye to boot time and hello to hard drive failure. hoo-ah. Do you have a game console? If so what is it and why did you buy it? If you have a game console, what was your first? Do you touch the graphics field of computing very often (such as modeling, or 2D art, etc)? Do you have any opinions on net neutrality? Net Neutrality is a cause held up by computer illiterate politicians who are trying desperately to scratch a name for themselves in the hall of meaningless pursuits. Do you believe in freedom (primarily in software) the was the FSF believes in it? Do you have a favorite movie or TV show? What other non-computer hobbies do you have? How would you describe your relationship with Christ? How do you imagine a way that you could use your talents and experiences to serve Christ? What kind of geeky projects do you see yourself doing within the next couple of years? - Working on a UT mod with some friends. - Coding a small rpg independently - Developing a php-based mmorpg (with a couple guys here on CCN... sry it's on haitus) These projects will probably last me a while.

Great interview! And lest I be viewed as un-original for saying that about the last interview....
CPU, your interviews belong in this book. |

Another fine review. Cool stuff. Except for this part: "Especially if it's a hot girl with a simple laptop problem (perk of campus jobs)." How about a little more respect for the ladies, yeah? ------------------ [This message has been edited by Xian_Lee (edited June 09, 2007).] |

I just realized you two have the same first name. Feel special, guys: Tim is the #170 most common male name. My real first name is like the 76th most common male name... |

meh.. double post. but I'll take this opportunity to answer Xian's post: Xian, I have the deepest respect for women. why,.... .... wait, oooohhhh... you're talking about respect for their character... actually, in all honesty, I don't see how calling a girl "hot" is disrespectful. then again, I live in California and the implications of the term is diluted. as for simple laptop problems... well... it's true. ------------------ [This message has been edited by ArchAngel (edited June 09, 2007).] |

quote: lol. I never implied women can't fix their computers. I just said there were alot of girls who can't. there also alot of guys who can't. Be careful on your inferences. Appearances are important. God made beauty and gave it to us (I can go into the biological importances of beauty, but I won't). He never claimed it was bad; all that is really said is that beauty is fleeting. It's nothing to base something on. It has always been a compliment in the Bible to call a woman beautiful. If you assume that I value girls only on appearance, you are completely in the wrong and I would suggest that reevaluate your judgments. I can easily be friends with plain girls. I could never be friends with hottie who is annoying or untrustworthy. Guess what, I'm honest with myself. I value looks. I wouldn't consider dating a girl I didn't find attractive. But I know beauty is fleeting and there are more important things. I need a girl I can get along with and most importantly, trust and respect. I find it interesting that you somehow can pinpoint my main concern without having one conversation with me. Not even a conversation over the web. A bit presumptuous, perhaps? enough to insult me through your signature? ------------------ |

quote: I posted this over in your other thread, and should just leave it there instead of derailing your interview thread, but I felt it worth posting this again.
quote: Not everyone is going to have a "real" conversation with you to know what you really think; instead, it's your first impressions that will affect the way people think about you. Given what I've seen in your posts, how likely is it that I would think your main concern to be anything other that appearance? First impressions make and break just about everything. I do agree that acknowledging beauty can be a compliment (I do that), but I rarely picked up on the compliment vibe of your comments. I need to be using more tact when I say these things, and give you a little more benefit of the doubt, but I figure that you would value blatancy over subtlety. ------------------ |

haha, yeah. CPU's interviews rock. figures that it's mine which goes into a debate. fine with me. I love it that way. But... I guess we shouldn't derail it. ------------------ |

Lazarus Member Posts: 1668 From: USA Registered: 06-06-2006 |
Well, it's talking about you and the views expressed in the interview, so is it really offtopic? If I started talking about the Dekker book I'm reading or the mosquitoe flying around my ear, now that would be offtop... sorry. Weird... except for the slightly faster 64-bit processor my desktop is just like your laptop, Arch. (Well, sorta... at least in those three areas) |

I hate to derail...but I HAVE to speak up, lol.
quote: I don't know if it's just me, but there's something completely ironic and even contradicting about your post and the ones like it about this topic... To summarize (as the post seemed to me) you say that Arch only looks at appearances, YET-- you admit that is based on Arch's first posting appearance. To me you are looking at Arch the same way you claim he sees women-- by appearances. But do you judge Arch based on your first impression? I have no idea-- I don't know you in the real world and EVEN then that would have to be something only God knows and SHOULD know. So I believe that is all Arch is asking from you and Moira. Honestly, [This message has been edited by Lava (edited June 11, 2007).] |
