I think I first noticed you in comments either in [livejournal.com profile] jojobear99 or possibly [livejournal.com profile] jessdev.

Nope :) Martin is the little green duck.

15. Have you ever been jealous of me? Yes - you have a job where you can write perl code!!

Occasionally I manage to sneak it in; that's fun.

At the moment, it looks as if I'll be doing MS Access and VBA for the next little while; our company managed to win the contract. (Before that, we were just playing around to get a feel for the tool in case we won.)

10. Forget. Don't want to cheat and look at your userinfo.

11. You asked this once, and told us, but I forget. Brown?
12. Brown?
13. Not that I know of.
14. No.
15. No.

16. Play with LJ? Talk linguistics?
17. No.
18. Classical? No idea.
19. Intelligent, sensible, kind, or was it supposed to be something like "you have nice eyes"?
20. Shy.

21. Not particularly so on LJ, but I don't know you IRL.

28. I don't think so, but I don't know why I think that.

This (http://newton.digitalspace.net/images/pne-greenbackground.jpg) is probably the most recent picture of me that's online.

18. Classical? No idea.

I actually listen to very little music, but one type I listen to is indeed classical. (The most common other type is whatever pop music is playing on the radio. I own very little music myself.)

28. I don't think so, but I don't know why I think that.

You're right; they're aren't at the moment. My mother died about six years ago. (My father remarried about two years later.)

In the long scheme of things, though, I believe they'll be together again eventually.

datenrevision GmbH & Co. OHG (http://www.datenrevision.de/). Quite a mouthful, eh? Its official name is even longer: "datenrevision - Beratungsgesellschaft für Datenverarbeitung und EDV-Revision GmbH & Co. OHG". Usually simply "datenrevision" or even "DR" /de:'?E@/, though.
