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. It's a way to fight my ferocious ADHD. Hey, it works. (Sort of.)

My /Chores. (No, you don't get to see them. They're boring.)

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 over 1.5 years.)

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!

Crap I need to do

    (CreateSpace coupon good until 1 Jul)

  • Get new tires:
  • 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
  • Set up iFuse so I can access my iPod Touch in Linux

    • Jailbreak my iPod?
  • Take the rest of my hardware to the electronics recycling depot

  • Reseal my hiking boots (Shoe Goo: $7)
  • Decide on an itinerary for my Perseids backpacker

  • Start looking for teaching jobs
    • Build up my resume
  • Prep next War of the Ring board for play.

  • Install http://www.status.net/ for calefaction.org

  • Update WordPress to 3.0 on calefaction.org
