A small listing of projects that either I'm in control of, or more
likely that I have used enough to want to change (thus contributing a
patch that might or might not have been accepted).
-
Pop-Perl5 - Perl
script to download mail from multiple hosts.
-
Links - a text-based web browser that supports Tables and Frames - and now, Graphics!
-
Grip - a graphical CD Ripper
and Encoder (now using Vorbize properly)
-
XHippo - A media
lister/player invoker
-
Registry - A database
using PHP and PostgreSQL to keep track of Queen's EngSoc Alumni
Here's some of the hardware that I've
used. To use these machines most efficiently,
I use a dvorak keymap (in X-Windows: xdvorakmap. With a SUN Workstation, use sundvorakmap) and Emacs.
Generally, besides playing pool and ultimate
frisbee, I enjoy watching movies, reading, listening to music, and
watching plays.
Movies
Movies that I've recently seen (though may not necessarily endorse):
Legend:
-1 : I want my life back
0 : Insomniacs might watch if it's on TV in the middle of the night
1 : Might watch if on primetime TV
2 : Would borrow from the library
3 : Would rent the DVD
4 : Would see in the theater
5 : Would buy the DVD
Books
Recently Read:
TV
I hate TV in general, but there are a few shows that I'd watch, if I happen to catch them. Strangely, they're mostly English. North American TV really sucks.
It should be noted that most of these people I respect and admire,
and some of them I know personally.
-
Rob Burke -
Interesting guy with a penchant for AI. Gets to play with all the cool
toys down there at the MIT Media
Lab. Damn I want to play there some more.
-
Goose - Never satisfied with
what others may say of him, he has harrassed me yet again into changing
his description. He is a sea of change, sometimes turbulent but ever
interesting. His prowess in Ultimate unequalled, his ability to tear
sound from a heart of wood unrivalled. His quest for cool never satiated.
And if he doesn't like this description, well, he can eat it.
-
Phil Steinke - Cool guy
to know. Dangerous guy to be on the wrong side of. He could easily
kick my ass any day, though he'd probably steal my identity and
destroy my life in unrepairable ways if he really didn't like me.
-
RMS - Or, Richard
M. Stallman. Started the Free Software
Foundation, and the GNU
Project. Inspires hope for humanity where there was none, and
though some may say is fanatical, I believe he just decides what's
right and sticks with it.
-
Philip Greenspun - Runs a web
site the way web sites should be run. Clear, concise, and favours information
and simplicity over flashy crap.
-
Jamie Zawinski - Done many hacks,
seems to have interesting interests. Pretty inspiring person in some
ways.
-
John Fischer - I worked with
John at Alcatel.
-
S. Jody McIntyre - Friend who biked
across Canada recently (read the diary of such on his site), lives in Ottawa,
and works for a company doing Linux-type stuff. Of which I'm rather jealous
(except having to deal with RPM).
-
CoKE - aka: Delve. Glad to see
that he finally got his page setup.
-
Alan Cox - A Linux developer who
now writes his diary in Welsh.
-
Jeff Bailey - Debian, GNU, Hurd, THUG, Vinyl Cafe Listener, Vegan.
There are sometimes those people who, for whatever reason, do an act
of kindness either for myself or for another without the request of
anything in exchange. These people I try to recognise in my Hero/Heroine of the Day.
Some reference materials for those things I might forget (or others
might like to know):
Here's some links that I find interesting.
News
Movies
Music
TV Listings
Searching
When I search, I use:
Services
- RocketMail - was the best before Yahoo bought it and smothered it to bits with Advertising and other crap.
- GraniteCanyon - free Secondary DNS
hosting.
Uncatagorized
easyDNS
