In year six, I started a business with my cousin that, amongst other things, included buying stationery in bulk and selling it in packs for my fellow students. In high school I started a desktop publishing business with a friend and we did flyers, newsletters, etc. First job working for someone else was behind the cash register at a petrol/gas station while I was at University. My first *salaried* job was as a network admin (and webmaster) at a University.

Hmm, maybe Emmental and other similar semi-hard cheeses.

I go in bursts, sometimes not touching stuff for months or even years. But then I'll get back on some project and will spend every spare minute on it for days or weeks.

Wanting to make a lasting contribution and never wanting to be mediocre.

The last few years TextMate although Emacs before that.

ha ha! I used to be a definite cat person, but find myself adopting a more centralist position as I get older :-)

Well I used to commute to Boston from the furthest city in the world from Boston (Perth) so I'd say as far as you can travel without leaving Earth orbit :-)

Probably in a couple of years :-)

It's not temporary but it is just a piece of the puzzle. I started working on my own sites before I took on client work and, while client work dominates my time at the moment, I see that shifting more towards my own sites as well as a hybrid model in the form of joint-ventures. But I always want to work with outside entrepreneurs; I enjoy that very much.

Most attacks are pretty ill-informed but it doesn't really bother me much. There's plenty to be critical of in the behaviour of Christians and, to be honest, much of what passes for Christian belief and (especially) behaviour is really just a cultural add-on that isn't really relevant to the core faith. That's not to say there aren't still fundamental incompatibilities with faiths that have a different response to Jesus.

Assuming this extends to pieces of music in any genre, I could handle Bach's Goldberg variations and nothing else for a month.
Although the song with the most plays on my laptop iTunes at the moment is Still Ill by The Smiths. -
I came to believe in the risen Jesus between high school and university after a failed attempt to reconcile Jesus with my non-Christian beliefs at the time.

Fundamentally, the one that believes that Jesus rose from the dead.
I generally fall into a reform and somewhat restorationist camp on many issues and would lean more towards the radical reformers than the magisterial. -
Hmm. Perhaps, an easier way to make template tags.
I still struggle with various aspects of forms too. -
Not sure about greatest achievement to date, but if I anyone ever did something great because they were inspired by something I'd said or done, I'd say that would be right up there for me.

Do you mean what's the biggest program I've written in terms of number of lines of code?
Hard to say because so many of the code bases I've worked on have been team efforts. My previous company's product would probably be the top. Pinax next. Maybe FOP third.
I've never really counted lines of code in my open source projects, so the latter two are just a guess.
