Wikibooks
To me a Wikibook is like a sand castle. Imagine a kid constructing a sand castle on a communal sand box, participation is welcomed, but not required and as all people contribute some sand, there is plenty of sand for all, there is no need to fight over it or how the castle should be built, and when the castle is built it is only sand, it will be used again, what is important is that the sand continues to be added and kids come to build new and improved castles.

Like
Programming, C/C++, All things SiFi (including literature), Japanese cinema portraying medieval times (Samurai cinema, Zatoichi, etc.), very few TV Shows (Game of Thrones), Dogs, Meerkat (Suricata suricatta), Dolphins...

Dislike

Life Philosophy

I consider myself a Pantheist, and believe in Buddhism interpretation of Karma in the sense that every action creates a reaction as in chaos theory.


Social order

My favorite social order is Anarcho Communism.


At this moment I'm mostly interested in C++, P2P, the ending of IP, fighting DRM and ...
