18 * Journal
19
20 I keep a [[http://journal.unknownlamer.org/][journal]] which is where I tend to send ideas out into the
21 Ether before reformulating them into coherent essays for the site
22 sitting before you, occasionally interspersed with commentary on my
23 mundane daily existence.
24
25 [[http://unknownlamer.org/index.1999_2006.html][The Old Site]] is still available. Links to pages there will remain
26 stable indefinitely so as to not break the Holy Command of Our Sovran
27 Hypertextia.

47 I hang out on Freenode and oftc as =unknown_lamer= in various
48 channels. =/whois= will guide you to me.

50 ** Résumé
51
52 I am a programmer by trade, and as such have a (potentially) fancy
53 [[files/resume.pdf][Résumé]]. I am quite familiar with [[http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/][UnCommon Web]] and Common Lisp in
54 general. This, naturally, makes me unemployable.

56 ** A Picture

60 ** Site Software
61
62 I use [[http://www.mwolson.org/projects/MuseMode.html][muse-mode]] to author the site because [[http://emacswiki.org][Emacs]] is all powerful, and
63 the closest approximation to a good user interface available on any
64 modern computer system. Muse allows me to simply write with very low
65 overhead (I spend most of my time in Emacs, and having hyperlinks and
66 a reasonable preview in the file buffer is quite useful). The file
67 format is quite hairy, but luckily the code is Free Software and, if
68 needed, I could easily write a publishing backend that transcoded my
69 site to an easier to parse format. There are advantages to being a
70 programmer.
71
72 I use darcs to push updates to the site and manage my muse files. As
73 such there is a handy [[http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=unknownlamer.org;a=rss][updates feed]] courtesy of darcsweb.
