= Welcome =
You're probably wondering why you are here. So am I. I suppose I should tell you a bit about myself, then:

||'''Height'''||5'11" (1.8m)||
||'''Weight'''||185lb (84kg)||
||'''Eyes'''||Blue||
||'''Hair'''||Blonde||
||'''Age'''||30-ish||
||'''Body Type'''||Why, yes! I ''did'' eat that extra doughnut! How did you know?||
||'''Shoe Size'''||10E (EUR 44E)||
||'''Sex'''||Yes, please! (Ooh, my hubby's gonna kill me for that!)||
||'''Gender'''||Male||
||'''Pet'''||Cat (named Alex)||
||'''Sense of Humor'''||Witty, dry snark||
||'''OS of Choice'''||Ubuntu 10.10||

Maybe you didn't want to know that much. Sorry, I tend to get carried away with social situations because of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome|Asperger Syndrome]] issue. It's kind of made it difficult for me to relate to people, especially on the Internet, due to my pedantry and my lack of any social compass. So I don't try so hard to be liked or to like others I don't really know anymore. If you're interested in talking to me and don't want to be infuriated, try to be patient with me on a personal level because I am likely just telling you what I am thinking without any social meaning at all. Also, and approach me with how I can improve rather than how wrong I am because I don't take destructive criticism well. Oh, and I really don't take jokes about myself well (initially) because I, by default, interpret them as a stated opinion; please make sure I can't miss the fact that you are joking if you want the conversation to continue.

If you like, you can do the whole social networking thing with me, too:

||'''Blog'''||[[http://blog.deriamis.net|Sophisticated Sophist]]||
||'''Youtube'''||[[http://www.youtube.com/deriamis|Moving Picture Videos]]||
||'''Facebook'''||[[http://www.facebook.com/deriamis]]||
||'''Twitter'''||[[http://www.twitter.com/deriamis]]||

Other than all that personal stuff, I am also trying to be an Ubuntu developer.
