Steven is a genus. One of the brightest guys on the planet. Within a few weeks of getting his own computer (11 or 12?) he was hacking game files and soon writing his own utilities. (the fact that he wrote his own replacements for the utilities in DOS says more about him that anything I can think of) He is the fastest and most accurate coder I know. (and I know a lot of them) His Linux skills are very very deep. He is generous and kind, a genuinely unique and interesting person. Phatt full of Slack and thinking mostly at right angles to the pinks, he both confuses and delights, often at the same time. I am proud he is my son.

about me
I like to eat. I'm a fan of chocolate. I drink a beverage composed of hot water and baking cocoa. (No cream or sugar.) I regularly enjoy sitting and sleeping. I believe that life without creation is no life at all.
Backup season
(blog entry)
I decided it was time to have some more recent backups.
Most of the time, my personal stuff has had a fairly lax backup policy. I have earlier versions of most of the stuff spanning multiple machines, and a lot of my stuff changes fairly slowly...

Now that was a nice party...
(blog entry)
I just got home from a kick ass new year's party.
My wife made us both a couple of fantastic costumes.
There were a loads of really great people. I had a number of great conversations ranging in topics from relationships to free software.

How I came to paganism...

Here's a cross-post from a tribe I'm in...
My first spiritual views occurred either in preschool or at the same age in Sunday School. (It occurred in the same room in the same building, so it is hard to say.) I was at the sandbox, after having ...

Welcome to my blog (and stuff)
(blog entry)
So after my last post, I decided I needed to have a nicer post. (My last one got a little ranty.)
So, let me tell you about myself...
1. I'm happily married to a wonderful lady. There's a lot of great things I can say about her. (Of note, sh...

Hello burners
(blog entry)
Well, it seems this place is sort of a hang-out for burners. I know some burners. Thus I'm here.
I say I know some burners, but that is not completely accurate. I've been to two burns. They were discontiguous by many years. I have family that h...

I decided it was time to have some more recent backups.
Most of the time, my personal stuff has had a fairly lax backup policy. I have earlier versions of most of the stuff spanning multiple machines, and a lot of my stuff changes fairly slowly. (Due to lack of time.)
In any case, I figured the start of the year was a good time to make a complete backup.
I say complete backup, but I install new versions of operating systems often enough that I never *really* need a complete backup. I...

Unfortunately my wife got tired and had to retire around 2am. I kept going and partied until noon, at which time I stopped drinking and started noticing that I was a little sleepy.

My first spiritual views occurred either in preschool or at the same age in Sunday School. (It occurred in the same room in the same building, so it is hard to say.) I was at the sandbox, after having been doing some drawing earlier. It didn't occur to me to doubt the existence of God or the Devil, but a different thought occurred to me. The two of them were like sides of the same coin. Forever locked in balance. As neither side could ever win, bo...

So, let me tell you about myself...
1. I'm happily married to a wonderful lady. There's a lot of great things I can say about her. (Of note, she made my kick-ass wardrobe for Burning Man last year. -- Not one costume, but a complete set.)
2. I have an interest in rogue-like games. Particularly in designing and developing them. However, it seems I very rarely ever do anything about this....

I say I know some burners, but that is not completely accurate. I've been to two burns. They were discontiguous by many years. I have family that has been going to them for 10 years now. I, however, feel like I'm visiting someone else's home town, and not "going home" like true burners.
That is to say, besides being miserably hot and constantly tired, it's mostly alright.
When people ask ...
