For a living, I beat on Linux hardware for other people. Then I keep beating it so that it won't revert to useless shapes. Occasionally, I entertain ideas of beating the other people instead of the hardware, usually when they beat said hardware into new useless shapes, but I don't get paid for that part, so I haven't really done anything about it yet.

When I was younger and more idealistic about what I might do for a living, I got my BA in Computer Science from Wellesley College, where at the time it was possible to graduate with a degree in CS that didn't provide any useful programming languages, so I've since learned Perl.

In spite of my Geek Girl bent, I'm not a complete techie; I love good fantasy novels and music, and spend a lot of my free time appreciating them and creating them. (But I still got a 64.2% on the Nerdity Test and I do play computer games.) I have a stuffed broccoli.

rocks.

With the economy being the way it is, there are too many things and not enough people to do them. Thus, I haven't had time to update these pages or do anything worth updating these pages for recently, and I took a lot of stuff down because it was so abysmally out of date. I left the poetry alone even though I haven't added anything new, because people apparently like it. About the only other writing I've done recently is the occasional contribution to Eyrie Productions. Sometimes I play with the SCA, usually in the Barony of Carolingia.

If I ever become unemployed again, perhaps I'll have more time to update these pages.
