Lost in 日本-country!

The fellow in the photo. Programmer, professional paranoid, clever playfulness enthusiast (computers and beyond!). A practitioner (engineer) by trade, quietly morphing into a theoretician.1

Additional information. Before leaving you with this site’s table of contents, so that you can navigate at will, here are two more things you should know. Primo, if the top black navigation bar is not visible, move the cursor to near the top of the browser’s viewport, and it will be shown (non-mobile browsers only). Secondo, in what the texts I write are concerned, it is my personal choice to, when referring to my hypothetical reader, variously do so as “he” and “she”, more or less at random. The reason for doing so is explained here.

Happy readings! ☺

  1. Professional paranoia: see here. Clever playfulness: it is one way to describe the original—rather than the posterior, “Hollywood-esque”—meaning of the word “hacker.” See here and here for details. It also applies beyond computers; e.g. in the words of Schneier, «Richard Feynman was a hacker; read any of his books.»↩︎

  2. See here for the disgraceful manner in which the Portuguese butchered their own language ☹  ↩︎

  3. Oh, and this site you’re currently visiting, is also one of the few that is printer friendly!↩︎
