Hi, I'm a nerd. I write, and sometimes I publish those writings on my blog, Pursuing Calefaction. More often I'll write trivia here. I brew beer with my friends; details are on the HomeBrewing section of the wiki.
A moment of shame: sidhe-Rog-Orc-Fem-Cha died in the Dungeons of Doom on level 1. Killed by a carnivorous bag.
My /Chores. (No, you don't get to see them. They're boring.)
My Car.
This forum post is how I got our Brother HL 2240 laserjet printer working in Linux.
My /Writing prompts. Feel free to add!
I last bit my fingernails on Nov 12th, 2008. (That's right, I haven't bitten my nails in three years.)

Things I need to do
Fix my wiki

finish editing Winterswatch so I can publish it
Recover data from a stack of old hard drives
Consolidate my data so that most of it is accessible to me via HCoop
- Then set up afsclient on my machines
- maybe write an easy script to install on new computers
Reseal my hiking boots (Shoe Goo: $7, or that boot place that ClintonEbadi used)
- Start looking for teaching jobs
- Build up my resume -- doing what?
Install http://www.status.net/ for calefaction.org
- integrate status.net and the wiki
Update WordPress to 3.0 on calefaction.org
Goals for 2012
write, edit, and submit one novel OR three short stories

Projects on the back burner
design & build floor-to-ceiling bookshelves
a wooden, folding 4'x3' game table
a laser pen!
Prep next War of the Ring board for play.
Crazy ideas I come up with
- A frisk (or whatever) board display server with a handheld API that hooks up to a projector suspended over a table surface!
SteveIsrael has built the projector part, based on a design he saw at a local gaming store -- BtTempleton
An Appalachian Trail wiki (really? Nobody's thought to do this yet?) Well, there's http://www.walkipedia.org/. But the guy's just sitting on it for now, apparently.
