Steve Killen
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 (award-winning!) beer on my stove and also with my friends; details are on the HomeBrewing section of the wiki. Also an elected member of the HCoop Board of Directors, serving as the treasurer.
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.
I last bit my fingernails on Nov 12th, 2008.

Things I need to do
Fix my wiki
- Design a more comprehensive security policy
- Upgrade to 1.8 (9?) -- and detail steps taken for HCoop users
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)
Install http://www.status.net/ for calefaction.org
- integrate status.net and the wiki
Update WordPress to 3.0 on calefaction.org
2013 Goals
Read 2 items in Latin - Cicero's letters (Shackleton-Bailey)
- read 25 new books
- Freud's Couch, Scott's Buttocks, Bronte's Grave, by Simon Goldhill
- volunteer 50 hours in the local community
- write 50 letters (actual, printed and/or hand-written correspondence)
- write, edit, and submit one novel OR three short stories
- brew beer for people
- get regulator hose and propane tank for new burner
- clean and oxidize kettle
- acquire Sanke kegging equipment
- clean kegs for use (with industrial cleaner)
- brew a cream ale in the party keg for Bill
- brew 30 gallons of wedding ale for Matt & Maggie
- 10 gallons of Persephone

Suggestions for the Reading Stack

- Gods Behaving Badly (Phillips)
- Alcestis (Beutner)
- John McWhorter -- Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue: The Untold Story of English, Language Interrupted: Signs of Non-Native Acquisition in Standard Language Grammars
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.
