Things I like
Sci-fi, computer games (typically FPS, but World of Warcraft got me into MMO), any music that doesn't suck, Linux, some music that does suck, learning random programming languages for a lark, films that are rife with explosions and/or actually good (Fifth Element being a classic example of both), diet vanilla Coke, my Powerbook and other tech that screams "SHINY!", reading things that normal people talk knowledgably about without having read (Knuth, at the time of writing), not reading things that everyone "should have read" ("literature". I've read Harry Potter, I'm not weird), really big, violent and above all fictitious weaponry; keyboards that go "clunk", mice with lasers in, lasers, pointless gadgetry (preferably involving lasers), Talisker, Jack Daniel's (muahahahaaa), things with blue LEDs, overcomplicated solutions to things (just for fun; not when I have to actually use them), dogs, watching big scary spiders duelling in the bath, my [Krol Blade], organisation and structure (no, really), people who are forthright, jam, purple, detergents that don't make my clothes go grey, being old enough to know better and doing it anyway, driving, Terry Pratchett, Iain M. Banks, Luc Besson, belittling stupid people in a way that only other smart people understand, fluffy things.

Things I don't like
Spiders.
