more than you wanted to know about too few things

more than you wanted to know about too few things "Don't worry, honey.
That's just a man with funny glasses."

This page last updated 20031223. Updates of late -- added a link to IRC. You may want to visit my page at angelfire, which may be more current than this one, and has a few pictures. I also have an occasionally updated presence at the livejournal (user tlord). When I'm on IRC, it's usually on slashnet (as "timothy"). (Did you know that the Mozilla suite of web tools includes an excellent IRC client ?)

Jump right in!

Go read slashdot.org. =) Slashdot runs a largish handful of posts every day (the slant is on technology, especially open-source software, but it's hard to define the full range of content) and hosts threaded, moderated discussions based on them. I suggest browsing at threshold +3. Did you know that Slashdot also allows you to start your own discussion? If you start a discussion, remember that it needs to be fed and watered with comments no less frequently than every two weeks. [I post on Slashdot as "timothy," to great wailing and gnashing of teeth.]

If your random travel plans include dialing up an ISP (or if you do this from home), you may be interested in creating an ethernet / wireless modem, which is to say "a wired router / wireless box linked to an external modem." This way you need not be limited by the length of a phone cord.

See my spammers-with-numbers page, and give these fine folks a ring.

Hungry? For just a few people, consider this psuedo-Korean goulash. Get a couple of bowls -- this describes how to make two medium-sized helpings. (Once your rice cooker dings, this probably takes about 5 minutes to prepare.) For larger flocks of adherents, try this cilantro-pasta feast.

Dreams are fascinating and inscrutable; here are a very few of mine. I like to write them down (when I have the ambition) because I find that the dream memory remains much sharper that way; you may find them interesting -- if not, no need to read :) I'm again trying straight numeric date labels just because they're easier to keep track of, even though they're not as informative re: content.
