I'm a consultant, sysadmin, and programmer. I enjoy writing docs, troubleshooting, and working with interesting problems and people.

Hacker News is an online game you can play where your score is up in the top right corner and there's a leaderboard, and you get points by posting stuff and making comments people like.

I haven't had this much fun since Progress Quest!
