Interview with a vampire JeanHuguesRobert

When where you born ?
- Too soon. In 1965
  - Why is it too soon ?
    - Well, science is progressing. If I were born later I would: first, have had the Internet as a child, to dig as much as I wanted on any subject and second, have had access to "forever young" program that will for sure be available one of these days.
What font do you use to program ?
- I use proggy tiny
Why do you use English, you are French! ?
- I tend to think that this increases the probability that people I am in tune with will notice me.
  - Are you serious?
    - Well. Do you get a better idea?
Is there life after death?
- Is there life before !?
  - I don't know, what do you think?
    - Yes, definitely, but not they way it is advertised, much more "organic" actually.
What is your religion ?
- I was raised a catholic but at this point I am a superficial Buddhist
What is a "superficial buddhist" ?
- Buddhism without the extra
  - "Extra"? what is that?
    - Decorum, ceremonies, traditions, talk, bla bla.
What are you doing these days ?
- Learning JavaScript, conducting a WikiExperiment
What is best in life ?
- Cooking with friends I guess
Greatest man ever ?
- J.S. Bach - "Without Music, life would be an error" F. Nietzsche.
Next one ?
- Gandhi
Another ?
- Not much.
What is your favorite movie ?
- Blade Runner
Is P. K. Dick your favorite author ?
- You bet!
What was you first computer ?
- A Commodore Vic 20. I was 15. It was in 1982 I think. 25 years ago.
Favorite programming language ?
- Ruby. I liked Prolog in the old days, so Erlang is something I look at today. I have been a C++ early adopter but I gave up when templates where introduced.
Biggest errors in life ?
- I married a brute. I under-estimated Unix. There are good reasons why there are wars, well... reasons...
Where is the center of the world ?
- My cousin Freddy pretends that it is where his house his situated here in Corti, but I think he is wrong, it is where my house is situated.
What is the "ego" ?
- It is the illusion that the parts that make each one of us are a whole.
I think you lack humility!
- I was not designed that way, that's my nature I'm afraid.
One truth ?
- The truth is: there are multiple subjective truths and one consensual truth.
Another?
- 42
One lie?
- "union makes strength" -- Ask Galileo, ask A. Einstein.
And Internet ?
- It is big. In 1996 I made my first web site, Corsica.org, http://tinyurl.com/2ls9xg.
