    Yep. A long time ago.

    Q: How often do you check your rigs to see if they are doing what they are supposed to do.

    I like only a little pink inside and for a little bit of it to have some black on the outside
    You would call it medium-well

    If you had to choose would you pick a going to the Proctologist or getting a root canal?

    Lately no, since I'm already there doing fire protection I get a face full and see more than I want or need to.

    Do you sleep on the left side or right side of the bed?

    Right, looking from the foot board.

    Do you prefer night shift or day shift (depending on if you work) ?

    Day shift/jobs! The worst job I ever had was night shift (package hurler at FedEx.) Hours were awful, pay was bad, work was hard, conditions were bad.

    What was the worst job you ever had?

    Maintenance electrician in an abattoir (slaughter house). It wasn't unusual to be literally waist deep in blood, guts and misc. bodily fluids while trying to get the waste removal systems working again. One time the night shift, who (mis)handled pigs "forgot" to empty the waste vessel at the end of their shift before a 4 day long weekend in the middle of an Aussie summer. Morning break came around the Tuesday after and my workshop was about 30 yards from the intake pit of the rendering plant. When the blow line started up it sprayed green/grey fermented pig guts out the end.
    My morning tea was ... somewhat less appetising after that.

    What genre of games do you prefer?

    I'm a Mac, Listening to music. Surfing the web, the usual boring stuff. I game on the PS3.

    Do you prefer console gaming or computer gaming? Because?

    Computer, because of 1) image quality 2) cheap games 3) modding possibilities - not only downlading mods but tinkering with the engines and content (UE3 and Source mostly).

    Do you have a garden? If yes, do you grow any vegetables?

    A loved one to cerebral cancer, a friend to Hodgkinson's Lymphoma, another friend has survived Non-Hodgkinson's Lymphoma, a guy I used to train with died from Leukaemia ... and no. I was crunching before that happened. I started in '99 with Seti@home on my old K6-2 350 before moving to United Devices, then Find-a-Drug, F@H and Rosetta briefly, then WCG.

    When it comes to crunching, are you an enthusiast, a believer or an addict?
