age: i listened to the challenger shuttle blow up in high school

physical attributes: strength: 4, stamina: 3, dexterity: 3

race: californian

location: my apartment

occupation: geek

no, i mean what is your job?: do you know a lot about computers?

no: then i'm a geek.

well, i know a little bit: ok. i am a technical analyst for a logistics outsourcer.

what the hell does that mean?: i'm glorified tech support. the main application i support is an sql-based warehouse management system running on hp-ux.  it's a decent enough job; i get to help people who can barely speak english move millions of dollars of inventory out the door.  we lost our second biggest client a month after i started; since then i'm lucky to take five calls a day.  although i am salaried, i have to be onsite for a minimum of forty hours a week, which gives me a lot of time to read and reread the internet. satisifed?

yes, thanks: not a problem.

computer: i built all three here. one is an athlon 1.4GHz/1280MB RAM/80GB hdd running win2k pro, one is an athlon 700MHz/512MB RAM/30GB hdd running RedHat 7.2 and the other is an athlon 1.1GHz/768MB RAM/50GB hdd running Win2k pro.

so you're a linux geek then: yes and no. i like the OS quite a bit, i am fluent in UNIX because of my job, i like having control over my system. but some of the apps i use don't work well under WINE yet and to be honest, it's just easier to run two boxes.

so you're a lamer then: i am not interested in getting into a geek pissing contest. i am fluent in several operating systems and use whichever suits my needs at the times. they all have their pros and cons. limiting yourself solely for the purposes of being elite is stupid and counterproductive. a real geek will play with everything but use whichever tool works the best for the needs at hand.

ok, i have this problem whenever...:i don't care. i'm not working right now.

but it's just a simple question!: ...and "no" is a simple answer.

likes: poke around the site a bit. see what turns up.

dislikes: poke around the site a bit. see what turns up.

what's up with the colour scheme? yuck!: Most of the text and backgrounds are black or some shade of blue.  This is because i am colourblind and blue is the one colour i can see well. one decorates one's home in the manner which pleases one the most.

what's up with the links?: They aren't obvious, are they? but they are there. At last count there are over 200 links embedded throughout these pages, 50 on this page alone. They are there for a reason...some of them are important and are a more detailed resource for some of the concepts here. some of them go to a random site that has pretty pictures or big words.  Ya never know. If you find a link, please use it. But bookmark me first.

as of today, 27 august 2002, i have updated the following pages since the last changes were made:

• this one.  don't expect too much; it took me six months to get around to this one.
• updated oregon page
• updated media page
• added my cd collection for those so inclined

Disclaimer

A few words about the content of this site.
A sense of humour is a must!
If you came here expecting serious intellectual stimulation, I'm sure I can provide you with something to think about. That's the whole reason I created this site in the first place. But just because I think doesn't mean I don't laugh.
Besides, it's all part of Eris' great gift. Although I am very serious about most of the views expressed here, part of my belief system is a strong sense of humour.
This page is intended to be a resource guide for several things, most notably animal guides, eschatology, techno, paranormality, shamanism, fifth (of course) Discordianism, Raven, runes and divination and my company.  and if I do my job right, you'll see how they all fit together.

well, that was seven years ago. the reality is this:

• the animal guides page has been up and running for some time now.
• i'm not sure what to think about eschatology anymore, especially in light of the nyc thing.
• i updated the techno/media page today.
• paranormality?  gah.  there are enough sites out there already.
• shamanism?  ditto.
• discordianism?  it's in there.
• raven? how about two pages.
• runes? done deal.
• my company? not going to happen. at least, not soon.

Although you probably won't see any bare breasts or beastiality, you should be warned that some of the subjects dealt with here, while not pornographic or what is normally considered "adult", is controversial.  I will attempt to maintain as much of a non-offensive environment as possible, however due to the very nature or some of the topics, especially my rantings, this simply isn't possible.  If you have a legitimate concern, please feel free to contact me...wait a minute, that's right, i own this domain.  since i'm not on geoshitties anymore and don't have to play nice...this is my home. if you don't like something you see here, you can fucking suck it.  deal.  don't bother sending me crap about how i offended you.  i have been writing in all lowercase since before playing gertrude's secret on the school's apple IIc in computer lab during lunch.  i am 733+ and will hunt you down like the scum you are.
