[Public] Journal Entry: Ianto Jones Introduction

[om_griffin]

Hello, my names Ianto Jones, I’ve just arrived from Cardiff, Wales.

You may see me around, however my powers make me unnoticeable until I draw attention to myself. I’ve found it’s easiest to get someone’s attention by shouting or touching them on the hand, however I've had some people react poorly to these methods. Please let me know if I should try something else for you.

I'm really not sure how it works. My sister said it was like seeing something out of the corner of her eye, that she sort of knew I was there but didn't think anything of it.

I'm very interested in technology, actually. What kinds of things do you work on?

[om_cherrybomb]

Depends on what tickles my fancy. I love making things do a lot more than anyone expects. Just ask my Furby, although he's not really that smart. No reason to bother with AI when scripted structured response will work just as well with a tenth the code.

Also it avoids the "AIs about to take over the world" issue that the BBC has been obsessed with lately. Why did you choose a furby?

[om_cherrybomb]

It was what I had to work on. Cash-strapped inventing. Foster mom didn't understand the difference between computers and electronic toys.

Besides, Mogwai is totally awesome now. If you hear verbal soup with a Scottish accent, that's him.

[om_griffin]

I'm not sure if "verbal soup" is a positive or negative commentary on Scottish post-rock music.

Unless you were referencing something other than the band?

[om_cherrybomb]

Wait, there's a band? Kickass. No, Mogwai is what I named the Furby. Because, well, Gizmo would be too obvious and people might just think the tech term.
