Most people have homepages that talk about them.
You'd expect a professional web deigner to have a well-designed web site.
Well, forget that. I don't like talking about myself to strangers, and I don't think you can get a much stranger crowd then those who find there way here. This place isn't hidden, but nor do I take purticular steps to bring people here.
This place is a hodge-podge of various things I have done. If you go spelunking, you will find various experments of my profession, test pages and tests of the tools our members use to access our cheaper accounts. I won't lead you to those.
New here as of Nov 29, 2001 is my christmas wishlist (rather, my unwished list, since it mostly lists things not to get me).
New here as of Dec 17, 2000 is a current picture of me.
New here as of Dec 10, 2000 is my music 102 paper, including a Perl script to generate music from the Mandlebrot set's iterator, my Government and Politics of Cities and States paper, and my holiday wishlist.
New here as of June 16, 1999 is my resumé, the final finals of my high school carrer (and yes, I passed all my classes, though I hear I had the lowest Phys II grade out of both classes). Also, you can find my English paper (sorry, it's in The Evil Empire's Works format, and not .html; those of you in the free world probably can't read it easily... but should try pipeing it through strings(n).
You can find here an old page of mine in the linux subdirectory. As the name suguests, it's a collection of linux-related stuff. In purticular, there's an obsolete trivial kernel patch (minor claim-to-fame: Linus applied it. Alan Cox wrote an identical patch independently, but Linus appied Mine! <G>. At some point, I'll make a link to the approprate page in the linux-patch-thingy.) Also there is an obselete source tarball for a gnome-panel applet. It's obsolete not only in that it hasn't been touched in almost a year, but in that all it's functionality, and quite a bit more, is in the mini-commander applet (which I had nothing to do with).
Oh, I deleted the linux directory while trying to clean up some space. Whops.
I've taken over maintainership of a program called gtkfaim recently. I havn't written any sort of page for it; when I do it'll most likely appear in the gtkfaim subdirectory. It's a clone of AOL's Instant Messanger, using the faim library written by the original writer and former maintainer of gtkfaim, a great guy called Midendian. I hear some people call him the silly name Adam Fritzler. Sounds like an alias to me.
Also, at the same time I'm writing this, I'm serving day 7 and 3/4 of ten days of in-school-suspension. You can read my rantings in the ISS subdirectory. Some are silly, some are sad. Some are incomprensable, some have an almost spooky clarity to them. Some are deep, some are meaningless.
Also, you can find here my PGP public keys. I use the plural; I have keys in several different cryptosystems. The paranoid can note that they are cross-signed. At the moment, they hold no other signatures; that may change soon -- but they will then be signed by another key that has no signature save mine, fairly useless. Ahvell. If I ever become a debian-developer (which I will in time), I'll be signed by the keymaster of debian (after a telephone conformation, apearently S.O.P. there).
The curious can find my Last Will and Testmate, which is, naturaly, signed with PGP and GPG. Naturaly, there are also several printed copies signed in pen.
Now for some more standard stuff:
This page was written with DOS edit (2.0.026, as shipped with Win98). I prefer jed under Linux, but it was more convient to put DOS on this shitty little laptop; it required less floppy-swapping.
If you aren't a loser, you'd read Slashdot. For that matter, you should read it even if you are a losser, plenty of other loosers do, including me. "News for nerds. Stuff that matters." How could it not be cool?
You should also read Freshmeat. Every now and again, you'll see somthing and say "hey, that's really cool".
If you're a computer-nerd-freak like me, you should run Debian. It's perfect for the lazy revolutionary. It's the most free of all the real free software (and I mean real as in putting out a usable, complete, finished product. The FSF is more free-orinted, but don't have a well-established system of their own at the moment.) As to the lazyness, witness apt. With two commands, you can keep your system up-to-date. With one command, you can get and install the newest version of a package (and there are a couple thousand packages), along will all of it's dependincies. Anybody whose ever downloaded a nice slick little program only to discover that it requires sevral megs of libraries behind it will relize why that's so cool.
Comments on this page (or anything else that dosn't require me to pay money) are solicited: james@rtweb.net by email, 1293898 on ICQ (use the gnomeicu package in Debian), TheOrbTwo on YahooPager or AIM, +1-717-569-4118 on the telephone. I can be found at 175 Hess Blvd., Lancaster, PA, 17601-4045, USA if you want to come knocking, send me tree-mail, or bomb my house.
Oh, and take a look at my busness while you're here. There's a nice little porthole at /members; you can check POP email from there. You can get computers and parts from us at very good prices at our computer site. You can, of cource, take a look at our front page at the normal locataion.
