 Cool.

 1) Tell us a funny work related story
 2) Did you ever get mistaken for being Ralph Lauren ?
 3) Are the GNOME/GTK people going to replace imlib with another rendering
    library - and is there any possibility of tying this in with OpenGL to
    give people with DRI-supported 3D cards a big speedup for anitaliasing,
    translucency and scaling, in the distant future ?
 3a)Will there be a day when all video cards have 3D acceleration hardware ?
 4) How is the "FPS" group getting along (maybe explain it a bit) ? What do
    you see as being big benefits for Joe User in the short term from their
    ideas ? Do you make recommendations to software authors, or get dirty &
    do it yourselves ?
 5) Where do you get food & hardware money from ? Would you prefer a boring
    job that gives you loads of money to help persue your interests in your
    own time, or a lowish-paid job that you enjoy ? Have you any intention
    of ever leaving college ?
 6) Would you recommend the use of the GNOME libraries, and the GTK object
    model in non-gui applications ? Should it be recommended to all
    freeware programmers, not just GUI ones ?
 7) Have you ever found any cartoon characters to be sexually attractive ?
