brucix@livejournal.com BioLow-tech geekoid academic sellout. Married with dogs. Suburban prisoner of Forest Grove.
Master of the Non-Sequitur. Have produced and recorded rap, industrial and electronica music. Have written and directed several short films. Have written a 50k word fictional novel draft.
Went to ES/MS/HS and then College in Madison, Wisconsin. Masters Degree from OGI @ OHSU. Now working in the Silicon Forest of Hillsboro, Oregon, primarily focusing on server platform performance analysis and architecture.
Nicknames: P-Dog, MC Clean, MC Clean Perf, BEEF, The Meat Machine, brucix, AL, JB, JunoBruno, Pizzazz Personified
I have not verified it via test, but it is fairly clear that I am an ENTP personality profile:
"ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport."
I would add that I am an engineer, and as an engineer making trade-off decisions with groups of multiple people, argument is a critical tool for proofing proposals - it is not just for argument's sake. If a proposal can stand against devil's advocate arguments, then there is stronger evidence that accepting the proposal is going to be a good decision.
I may argue with you with extreme vigor and relentlessness. Please don't take it personally. Attack the theorem, not the person. If you need help determining what is required to defeat a theorem I produce, please ask. I will tell you what you need to do.
"The spice of life is battle; the friendliest relations are still a kind of contest; and if we would not forego all that is valuable in our lot, we must continually face some other person, eye to eye, and wrestle a fall whether in love or enmity."
- Robert Louis Stevenson
