Our paths may have crossed in Gloucestershire, as I boarded for extended
spells in Stow-on-the-Wold with colleagues I call my UK surrogate parents.
The drive via Bishop's Cleeve into Cheltenham in a long summer's night is
quite the treat. Your nerdy things remind me a lot of Peter, actually, who
is a computer scientist/software engineer who specialises in
database architecture. We have spent many hours discussing R. I'm afraid I
don't have a personal web page quite as extensive as yours, but I do
maintain a Substack <https://thecontrapuntal.substack.com/>.

What is your favourite thing? (Mine is "learning")


Reading in the shade on a tropical beach, waves gently crashing onto the
shore, access to adult beverages nearby.

What is your least favourite thing? (Mine is "strict schedules that fill

Being forced to compete. It brings out the zero-sum approach in me, and it
isn't pretty to say the least.

Tai chi <https://www.wustyle.com.sg/>! I picked it up about a year ago.
It's slow going, a proper disciple model. I've barely mastered the 12 steps
after 12 months! Would the patch of forest count as rewilding?

P. S. I like archery and clay pigeon shooting too. I'm planning to visit a
full shooting range in Batam more often.
