Derrick: What if we would have run into each other in a cafe n munich, which i know you considered to at some point. I usually figure, like a man, i have enough social interactions in life. And so if a stranger asks me, what do you do?  I always feel like i don't want to get into it, so i just tell them, i'm a programmer. That's the most wonderful answer. It was just a wonderful way to shut people up.
