17 <h2>Obligatory Bio…</h2>
19 Aren't these little bio's, that everyone expects you to do, a
20 right royal PITA? If you maintain any kind of presence on the
21 internet, (and lets face it, in this day and age who doesn't)
22 you find yourself writing dozens of these silly things. Well
23 I've resisted doing this one for almost 4 years, so I better put
24 <i>something</i> here. All I gotta do now is think of something to
25 write that isn't already on a thousand sites all over the bloody
28 <h3>So who is this Steve Youngs bastard?</h3>
30 I'm a 40-something, 1st generation Aussie. I have 3 gorgeous
31 kids. The eldest, from a previous marriage, lives with her Mum,
32 so I have 2 with me. I'm currently a full-time stay-at-home
33 Dad. The pay is pretty shit, but the benefits make up for the
34 $0.00 income. :-) Oh, if you're wondering how I survive…
35 <em>very</em> careful budgeting of my wife's income. BTW, you
36 <u>did</u> see that donation button on the left there, didn't
39 <h3>What turns me on…</h3>
40 Don't panic, I'm not going to talk about what you're thinking.
41 I'm going to talk about general, <G> rated interests. What
42 interests me? Hmm, lemme think…
45 Cooking… yup, I'm a pretty dab hand in the kitchen
48 Coffee. A couple of years back, Michelle (wife) bought me a
49 sexy little expresso machine. I've turned into quite the
50 coffee snob since. Grind me own beans an all. There's still
51 hope for me… I don't buy green (raw) beans.
54 Learning. I love to learn new things. Who says you can't
55 teach an old dog new tricks, huh?
58 Football. And that's <u>real</u> football, not that stupid
59 rugby shit. I should mention that the interest here lies in
60 the area of spectator. I haven't actually played a game since
63 <li>Cricket. I'm an Aussie, what did you expect?</li>
65 Fishing. Sadly, I haven't gone fishin for 20 years or more.
68 Movies. They don't have to be good, but they do have to be
69 entertaining. And in my eyes, thinking, does not come into
70 the equation. I want my entertainment to be entertaining
71 dammit! If there's 2 movies on TV, one where you have to be
72 glued to the set 100% of time so you don't miss any subtle
73 detail or else you completely loose track of the plot, and
74 the other with Arnie shooting the crap outta everything that
75 moves, can you guess which one I'll be watching?
77 <li>…and a gazillion other, even more boring, things</li>
79 <h3>What turns me off…</h3>
82 Fools. I'm sorry to all you fools out there, but I just
87 Bad laziness… yes, there is such a thing as <dfn>good
91 Two face-ed-ness. I can't stand people who are all <i>oh,
92 you're me best mate, you're such a great guy</i> when they talk
93 to you. And then 5 minutes later when you're not around they
94 are telling everyone how much of a wanker you are and how much
95 they hate you. C'mon people! If you're not prepared to say it
96 to their face, should you be saying it to <u>anyone</u>?
99 The bignote. You know the type, the guy who whenever he opens
100 his mouth, his bum takes over.
103 Anything that's crap. Crap quality, crap service, crap
104 beliefs, crap politics, crap taste, crap conversation.
105 Whatever. If it's crap, it's crap. End of story. And I hate
109 <h3>Who inspires me…</h3>
110 Hmm, this could be a <b>very</b> long section, so I'll just give
111 you the abbridged version…
114 Everyone on the SXEmacs team. Seriously! They're a great
115 bunch. You honestly couldn't ask for a better team. And
116 they're all waaaaay smarter than me.
