About me: I am growing more Christian gradually. I'm reading the bible sporadically now, at least 5-10 min every other day. I hope to get more motivated and disciplined in reading the word. I also seem to be praying at least once a week. I need to get over the laziness and anxiety (talking to somebody I don't see as if he existed and visible) barrier with that.
I love file sharing. I'm addicted to P2P file sharing. I love the libertarian little or no government/bigcorp influence or provision free-for-all sharing environment. I just wish more cool things would be GPL/copyleft and not illegally pirated. Mix Emule and individually affordable NanoFacs and matter-energy Replicators and you could manufacture anything you could ever want -- after downloading the schematics from the intergalactic filesharing network and buying the raw materials - or engergy in case of trekky replicators! I wonder if heaven would be like that. Probably with strong and nearly impossible to hack but highly consistent and effective censorship to keep sin of the network though -- porn idols hate violence, etc...
I'm channeling my file sharing to serve God more, sharing more bibles. I use my cable modem upload at 0.75mbit and I have a seedbox also (15mbit usable without overages). I'm trying to up the bandwidth utilization (i'm only using 40-50% of my monthly allowance) while minimizing increase in secular shares. But it is difficult. I'm happy as long as at least 65% of my upload volume is bible or bible-based christian-teaching material, copyrighted or not (most of the bible traffic is copyrighted audio bible translations).
I'm High-Functioning Autistic but I look more aspergers to a shrink though, but i've had developmental and language delay when I was <5 yrs old according to my mother. I qualify for autism fully in the DSM-IV but 2 key symptoms would be too suppressed from a clinician's view due to young-age conditioning (a distraction/tangent and reward model according to my mother), so I would get diagnosed Asperger's or PDD-NOS (if language delay is known, only LFA probably would get an autism diagnosis after age 6-8), but I do them when i'm home by myself or very stress out (usually reduced and hidden form when stressed but not by myself). I look normal but a little weird to a non-shrink.
Who I'd like to meet: I'm fans of Landon Donovan, Mark Chung, and Eddie Gaven for Soccer, Itzik Ben-Gan and Joe Celko for Databases, Max Cavalera for music, and Gary Gygax and David Pulver for RPGs. I've already met four of them and three of them i became meeting them made me a major fan (didn't know 2, casual fan with 1 before meeting). I also like to visit my mother every year and rotate between Brian Sugrim and Rick Rivera+Erik sadosky each year. Brian sees family in NY every now and then so I can maybe see Brian every year by exploiting a day-trip tangent when I see Rick+Erik this year.
