About

Hi! I’m Daniel. I’m a professional software developer and an amateur chess player (class E) living in Michigan.

I primarily work with C# and SQL, but also PowerShell, Bash, HTML, and CSS; and, less frequently, Progress OpenEdge and JavaScript. I also consider myself an “advanced” Git practitioner.

I have a strong interest in computing history, especially pertaining to UNIX. I enjoy watching and reading science fiction and superhero media. I play the occasional video game (turn-based strategy, puzzle/RPG), play go (the board game), and build model Gundams.

I also enjoy writing. I mostly write about computers and software, but now and then I may post about something else that catches my interest.

This blog has no analytics of any kind, partly for the sake of visitors’ privacy and partly so I can’t obsess over how many (or few) pageviews I get. The flip side, of course, is that I have no idea whether or not anyone reads my work unless they tell me. If you like what I write, I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to send me an email or say hi on Mastodon.

PGP Key

Below is my public PGP key. You can use this to verify signatures on my Git commits, or to send me encrypted messages if you’re especially privacy-conscious.

Colophon

This website is served as a collection of static files by Nginx on Ubuntu, hosted at Digital Ocean.

It is built with the help of Camellia, my own tea-themed, alpha-quality static site generator. I intend to release it as free software if and when it reaches a point where someone besides me might reasonably find it useful.

Typefaces used are Google’s Noto Serif and Noto Sans Mono.
