Day Job: Unlicensed Private Detective
Open Source contribution (if any): I am the brains behind an open source Snakes clone in QBasic. I'm currently looking for an apartment in Portland. Linus Torvalds lives there. Does that count? I mean, he did write Linux, after all.
Tell me about your experience with Ruby/Rails: In my experience, Rails doesn't scale, partly because Ruby is so slow. When I was in high school, I always dreamed of becoming either a professional Rails developer or a space cowboy. I had just started looking into Rails, when I realized what a ghetto it was. So, I switched professions. I'm currently saving some money, since a rocket launch costs $54M - $59.5M. I'm currently at €3409.7, not sure how many USDs that are. If you know anyone who needs a job done, I'm all for it. Can't refuse work on moral grounds, with the current economy.
Tell me about Mexico: In Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica many cultures matured into advanced civilizations such as the Olmec, the Toltec, the Teotihuacan, the Zapotec, the Maya and the Aztec before the first contact with Europeans. In 1521, Spain conquered and colonized the territory from its base in México-Tenochtitlan, which was administered as the Viceroyalty of New Spain. This territory would eventually become Mexico as the colony independence was recognized in 1821. The post-independence period was characterized by economic instability, the Mexican–American War and territorial cession to the US, a civil war, two empires and a domestic dictatorship. The latter led to the Mexican Revolution in 1910, which culminated with the promulgation of the 1917 Constitution and the emergence of the country's current political system. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time that an opposition party won the presidency from the Institutional Revolutionary Party.

How do you use GitHub: I use it like any other social network, to randomly stalk people and troll around. I say Tomato, you say Tomayko. Tomato, Tomayko... Also, I like those cute octocat images. Sometimes I find myself randomly clicking on links in hope to see a unicorn. So much cooler than the Fail Whale. One thing that irritates me is the inconsistent usage of GitHub/Github/github.
Favorite weapon: Love
Favorite luchador(es): Nacho & Esqueleto
Do you actually read this or is it just to make me feel appreciated?
I'm a bit nervous about potential language issues. I mean, going to Mexico and I don't even know the Spanish word for Tequila!
@kamzilla Also, please make sure I do not win a ticket, thanks.
