The Home of Your Friendly Neighborhood Terrorist

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 keep a 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 will eventually set up a weblogging system locally.

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.

About Me / Contact

I am a mild mannered hacker and metalhead.

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

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 Résumé. I am quite familiar with UnCommon Web and Common Lisp in general. This, naturally, makes me unemployable.

Site Software

I use muse-mode to author the site because 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 updates feed courtesy of a small Lisp program I wrote and darcs.

A more detailed description of my setup is available.
