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. 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.)
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!
An Appalachian Trail wiki (really? Nobody's thought to do this yet?) Well, there's http://www.walkipedia.org/.
Crap I need to do

- 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
- Get new tires:
- 2 more tires and (a spare wheel?) mid-June
- Net cost ~$300 for the final 2 tires and the spare.
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
