I am the Jester.
I make games using JavaScript, C, C++, Mercury, Java, Assembly (amd64 and UltraSparc) and Python. I used to use Sphere a lot, but I'm more into C/C++ and Mercury nowadays. I still use JavaScript and embed it sometimes, and I usually use Python for build systems and system management.
I wrote TurboSphere, which is a recreation of the Sphere Game Engine with a number of major improvements. I'm not really working on it anymore.
I'm surely going to finish making a game someday. I mean, sooner or later, it's bound to happen. Right?

What are you thinking about right now?
I guess I'm old school, my first step whenever I download an installer is to put a copy on a portable hard drive (or my FTP server nowadays).

I've never really seen any advantages to Steam. The overlay is of extremely dubious value to me, and they are real jerks about only letting you download games for the platform you are on.
The main advantage to them is that they have sales, and a few games are only for steam, or only for steam and an even worse DRM platform.

I still need to create two more full spritesets, implement real building mechanics, and write the AI.
I likely won't finish in time :P

I want to be www2.coffeequest.co.nz
In a perfect world, that would redirect to www2.coffeequest.co.nz/index.php?id=portal.cgi
We really wanted www2.coffeequest.biz, but that was already taken.

There are a couple states that have done away with it. I would like to see Alaska join them. And actually, perpetual DST would be nice, since in southeast Alaska that would make the daylight hours in winter more convenient.

Time travelling is fun? :)
No. I will be quite happy when the US stops this daylight savings silliness.
Especially in Alaska. In the summer, it's simply so light out it makes no difference. In the winter, it means you go to work and then come home in total darkness, having worked over every glimmer of sunlight.
Post a fun fact... about yourself!
ASM is useful every once in a while. In particular, it's good to be able to read it to analyze the output of your compiler.
I have actually had a few honest uses for it. Beyond my usual "ASM is fun!" reasoning, or that it's usually possible to somewhat easily write code that is a little bit faster in ASM than in C or C++.
Once was to use the actual 16-bit floating point hardware on x86 to push half-precision floats to OpenGL and save on bandwidth when I didn't need full precision. The other was create function prologues and epilogues to call into code that was using a crazy calling convention (which I had to first figure out by reading the disassembly of some of the code).
It's not the kind of thing you tend to use every day, but there are certain things that either really inconvenient or outright impossible if you can't write ASM.

Two of my toes are webbed.
MIPS is pretty common to learn first because it's just about the easiest architecture to write ASM for. I learned SH3 first, which isn't too hard, either.

I can do good ol MIPS32 assembly because my college teaches it for some odd reason (and it's a mandatory course for the CS degree)
