I come late to the party on this one, but a short while ago Cas opened up to those who’d like to join in the 5 questions thing. I accepted the offer and here are my answers.
1 – It’s a given that Cas (and Bright Meadow) are the best thing since bread came sliced. But what is the second best thing on the Internet?
Hmm, well considering my job this is a bit tricky. I think I’ll go for the website I use the most and that has to be google search. Why? Because it ‘just works’ and answers my random queries accurately most times. Got to love the way you can type thoughts almost and get websites that actually match. It has helped me out so many times I really have to vote it the top.
2 – A word or phrase that only you and your family/friends use. If you can explain it and how it came to be, even better!
This is a tricky one as I keep getting told I need my own dictionary… Really can’t say just one as I seem to have absorbed a wide variety of odd phrases along the way. Fairy fud, awoga, fugley and so on…… I really do pity someone who tries to take my variant of english as the one to ever learn by.
3 – The one thing you wish most you said at uni but you never did?
Although I’m glad I did the courses I did, I sort of wish I’d opted to study web something from the start – the only issue with that would be such courses didn’t exist really when I was at uni. Maybe something more design not art orientated would have been good. I guess what I wish I’d said would have been can I change my course to this one – again that would have needed a time machine so not really doable. I caught up later with software engineering but just doing art at the start really wasn’t the brightest choice.
4 – What would you say the hardest part about being a ‘grown up’ is?
Commitments.
5 – Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet or Pooh?
Piglet every time.
So, there you go and a big thanks to Cas.

Eeyore could take Piglet any day of the week :P
I’ve been wanting to do this one for ages too now. Luckily your answers are a lot like what could be mine. Google is a great answer, search and almost every other web app they put out. I couldn’t live without GReader. Focusing more on tech stuff in school would’ve been great too. We had one class that taught us Aldus PageMaker and CorelDRAW! but after that I just drifted in and out of the stuff. I took a year of programming, but that was in the 80s, on Tandy PCs…
And yes, Piglet rulez!
