About me:

• computer and technical stuff is getting cheaper over the years

I don't like:

• bugs
• inconsistent class design, with lots of dependencies
• religious jerks who believe that they found the one and only truth in which everybody else also has to believe
• all kinds of jerks who need to convince others of the truth of their message
• bad music, like Queen, Boy George, George Michael, Disco style music etc
• horror movies
• repetitive and boring work, that's why I like programming: if you're doing a great job, you never have to do the same thing twice!!!
• Microsoft (except for creating C#, I have to confess that they definitely did a great job in constructing Visual Studio and C#)
• Vegetarian food
• permanent increases in prices whereas my salary stays at the same level
• gaining weight and thus being forced to eat fruits and vegetables instead of chocolate and Coke
• mountains, snow, cold
• sometimes women
