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
write, edit, and submit one novel OR three short stories - read 25 new books
- brew 12 distinct styles of beer on my stove
- find paying work in the teaching/tutoring field
- volunteer 50 hours in the local community
- write 50 letters (actual, printed and/or hand-written correspondence)
Reading list
- Death on a Friday Afternooon (Neuhaus)
- Pride & Prejudice
- Jennifer Government
- Gods Behaving Badly (Phillips)
- Alcestis (Beutner)
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.
