Conversation with Tweewo was like racing cars switching lanes rather than switching gears. We had fun and never set off the airbags. lol.
Topics I can remember ranged from:
programming languages (C, C++, C# and the latest one called Python. But why Python?);
guerilla programming (Tweewo's knack to learn up a new programming language by just getting a book and CD ROM on it);
scientists (Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Stephen Hawking.. I remembered Tweewo once stumbled upon a music group that sampled Stephen Hawking's distorted electronic voice);
the Segway Human Transporter and South Park's parody of it;
Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams;
hand-rolled cigarettes (strangely where Tweewo came from, this was called a shag);
work (I realise Tweewo sells his brains while I only sell my skills);
music (the Pixies have regrouped, and PJ Harvey's latest album is just Buy Buy! rather than Buy Buy Buy!);
and the urban myth that 25% of people in meetings are thinking about sex.
It's wonderful to nearly start the weekend with good company and conversation.
