Instruments

Does anyone here play an instrument? Which one, and why? Do you have any funny (read: absolute 100% true ) prejudice towards certain players based on their instrument choice?

I used to play Peruvian ocarina, which is regarded as a decorative object:

Here is an old recording of a play session of mine:



Actually, the oito in my nickname oitofelix stands for "Ocarina Inca de oiTo Orifícios", which means "Eight Holes Inca Ocarina". I've learned to play by ear, because I couldn't find any documentation on how to play that instrument.

Your YouTube profile photo that shows you smiling (and also, to a lesser extent, you playing the ocarina) show a side of you different from the mental image I had of your personality. I think in my mind I primarily combined your 'stern' appearance in the GitHub photo (that you're also using for this forum) with your 'rigid' pro-GNU stance. It's nice to see the smile. :)

I've been told I'm more pleasant in real life than on the Internet. Some of the intended nuances and subtleties probably get lost in writing. Oh well.

That happens. Experience shows people can have almost diametrical opposite concepts about myself (and I can see why to an extent), depending on their personality and in what circumstances they interacted with me. It's not uncommon that for a given atitude of mine I can be seen as emotional and empathetic, or intelectual and ruthless depending on how you look and how well you understand me. I know only a handful of people that can comprehend myself thoroughly enough to infer correct state of mind and intentions behind my actions. Likewise, it's not rare for me to get a wrong image of people, in a general level.

I see. Well, I think you are good on the internet, thus you should be even more so in real life. :)

I'll take that as a compliment, for lack of a better interpretation.
