I guess I've refrained from writing on this thread for too long, now...
My name's Pedro, but you guys can call me poca. I'm 34 and I always set my holidays so that my birthday is in there.
My formal education is in physics engineering, like the One up there.... hey, One, you don't happen to be in Portugal, too, do you?
I'm portuguese and, in spite of our ruling class, I find it to be one of the finest countries in the world... and I've been to many!... err.... 4 or 5.
Many nice sceneries, many nice foods, many nice peoples, many nice weathers... and yes, portuguese people do have a particular accent when speaking english.... especially news-people... it sounds horrible!!!
(but my accent is tame, I'm awesome!)
Been working on algorithms to improve the results of a diagnostic used in nuclear fusion... it measures stuff in hot burning magnetically confined plasmas by using microwaves as a sort of radar.
That means I know my way around programming... yeah for me!
Also, there's so much data to process that, sometimes, I just stare at the computer... or come here and read some of your musings.
Got myself a wife and 3 kids.
Hobbies include groping the wife, yelling at the kids, teaching them new stuff, playing a few computer games.... and watching the occasional tv series.
I don't like to spend money on stupid crap, but I did get a 40" tv some time ago... everyone says it looks a bit large in the living room, but I did the math and it's perfect for all possible viewing distances in that room. I always do the math! >.<
