• Do you have pets? No, but I would like to be a cat's pet sometime. (They're not our pets, they're our master!)
• What is your favorite color? Blue.
• What kind of music do you like? Rock/metal mostly: Iron Maiden, Queen, Meat Loaf. Recently a lot of Abney Park.
• What do you do on your free time besides spending time on SMF? I have free time other than at SMF? I take it you don't mean the IRC channel for SMF too? Other than being on SMF, I'm mostly enjoying the process of writing an RPG.
• What are your goals/dreams in life? To be able to support myself and my family financially and emotionally purely on my own creations; not relying on a company to pay my wages, but to go self employed. The aforementioned RPG is part of that dream.
• What got you involved in SMF? A project I started 3 years ago needed a discussion forum; initially we were using PunBB, but polls were not a core feature so I went searching for a forum package that was free and not riddled with security holes - and SMF was the best choice.
• Who do you admire? Why? Andrew Plotkin, aka Zarf - for opening my eyes to the worlds beyond worlds. It isn't the tools we have that shape the world, it is how we use them.
• Are you into sports?  If so which ones? I hate sport. I generally don't see the point of it.
• What is your dream job? RPG designer/maintainer/programmer (see above)
• What was your first screenname? The SpiceyOne, around 2000.
• Do you have any piercings? No.

• Do you have any tattoo's?  If not do you wish/plan to get one? No, though I would kind of like something of dragons on my back.
• Do you have any siblings?  If so, how many of each? One half sister - we're 11 years apart, but one day on the calendar.
• What is your favorite website? www.simplemachines.org, airshipescapades.net (not publicly available yet but the dev stuff is to team members)
• Do you play computer games?  If so, which ones? I do sometimes but mostly right now it's more for diversion in between playing my dev game or on here. When I do play, usually something like Bejeweled, or Bookworm Adventures. I do also play a fair amount of Scrabble/Lexulous on Facebook though, and have been prodded into trying FarmVille, but it's kinda limited.
• Do you play video game consoles?  Which ones? I own none of these.
• Are you married or planing to get married? It's on my to-do list, but right now in the 'long time away' category.
  
  
  
  • If so do you have any kids? No, but would like to.
  • How many kids?
• How many languages do you speak?  If so which ones? Multiple: PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascr... oh wait, you meant actual languages. Two: English and rubbish.
• Do you drink? Not now. Used to a while ago.
• Do you smoke? No.
• Did you play hookey from class? In my final year at college, yes. Still passed with good grades because when I did turn up it sunk in.
• Do you have a license? Open Source licenses FTW! I assume you mean driving - no, I don't drive. Too many nuts on the road already.
  
  
  
  • Do you own a car? No, no plan to either.

• Have you ever been on an airplane? A while ago.
• Have you ever broken a bone? No, but I fractured my leg when very small.
• Do you wear jewelry?  If so what jewelry do you wear? I have a dragon pendant necklace which I wear almost all the time. It's currently off being cleaned.
• How do you dress? As casually as possible. Some days just sticking to dressing gown.
• How many keys are on your keyring? 6.
• What time do you go to bed?  What time do you wake up? Bed: any time between 2am and 6am. Awake: any time from 7am to 12pm. Curse of unemployment.
• What's the freakiest thing you have done? Invented a new drink at college. We had a dispenser like you get in McDonalds or KFC for dispensing fizzy drinks. We discovered that if you start with 7-Up, then added Fanta Orange, then Coke in roughly equal measures, you get a drink that's drinkable and changes from black to orange to pale orange the more you drink.
• Do you live alone? No
• How many hours a day do you spend in the computer? As many as possible. Frequently 16+
• How many hours a day do you spend in SMF? About the same some days. Depends how much dev I need to do for my game on any given day.

Just a little question, I'm not too sure if it has been answered, but what's the history with your handle?
At first I thought it must've been something to do with spiders(dunno why), but I've just googled it, and cannot find its definition.

And for some reason I've kept that ever since, meaning I've kept it since 2001.

At age 65, Sanders' store having failed due to the new Interstate 75 reducing his restaurant's customer traffic, he took $105 from his first Social Security check and began visiting potential franchisees.

The franchise approach was successful, and less than ten years later (in 1964) Sanders sold the Kentucky Fried Chicken corporation for $2 million to a partnership of Kentucky businessmen headed by John Y. Brown, Jr.
