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.

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

  • Get the /AluminumFalcon inspected and plates updated

  • 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

    (CreateSpace coupon good until 1 Jul)

  • 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

  • {o} write, edit, and submit one novel OR three short stories

  • {o} read 25 new books

  • {o} brew 12 distinct styles of beer on my stove

  • {o} find paying work in the teaching/tutoring field

  • {o} volunteer 50 hours in the local community

Projects on the back burner

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!
  • 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.
