#author Clinton Ebadi

Greetings, my name is Clinton and you have stumbled upon my personal
website. This is a continually evolving project as most things on the
web are.

* Journal

I used to keep a [[http://journal.unknownlamer.org/][journal]] where I used to send ideas out into the Ether
before reformulating them into coherent essays for the site sitting
before you, occasionally interspersed with commentary on my mundane
daily existence. As livejournal has sold out almost all of their
former ideals I no longer use this, but might eventually set up a
weblogging system locally.

[[http://unknownlamer.org/index.1999_2006.html][The Old Site]] is still available. Links to pages there will remain
stable indefinitely so as to not break the Holy Command of Our Sovran
Hypertextia. Be warned I may have been a teenager when most of it was
written.

* About Me / Contact

I am a mild mannered hacker and metalhead.

I hack Lisp and am on the board of a [[http://hcoop.net][hosting cooperative]] that you
should join.

I welcome criticism and suggestions to improve anything I have
written here.

** GnuPG

[[email-key.asc][BCE8 C667 7CD2 7139 735C 2F99 DB28 E55B 381E 3395]] General use key. I
sign my mail with this and you can send me encrypted messages using it
if you fear the orbital mind control lasers.

[[software-signing-key.asc][F169 C3BC 9751 843F 9497 42BE 3F59 9AAE 7C43 A9F4]] (key used for
signing software release tarballs). **Notice**: I forgot the passphrase
and lost the revocation (I know, I'm a terrible person) and so this
key was regenerated =2010-04-16=. Or perhaps *The Network* got to me.

** Email

=clinton at unknownlamer dot gro= (a simple puzzle)

** Jabber

=clinton at hcoop dot net= (this also works as an email address and must
be protected as a result)

** IRC

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

** Résumé

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

** A Picture

** Site Software

I use [[http://www.mwolson.org/projects/MuseMode.html][muse-mode]] to author the site because [[http://emacswiki.org][Emacs]] is all powerful, and
the closest approximation to a good user interface available on any
modern computer system. Muse allows me to simply write with very low
overhead (I spend most of my time in Emacs, and having hyperlinks and
a reasonable preview in the file buffer is quite useful). The file
format is quite hairy, but luckily the code is Free Software and, if
needed, I could easily write a publishing backend that transcoded my
site to an easier to parse format. There are advantages to being a
programmer.

I use darcs to push updates to the site and manage my muse files. As
such there is a handy [[http://feeds.unknownlamer.org/rss/site-updates][updates feed]] courtesy of a small Lisp program I
wrote and darcs.

A [[Site Software][more detailed description]] of my setup is available.
