About me

Gender Male
Introduction Chopping away at a big bad case of writer's block, with no end in sight. The occasional failed attempt just shows I've been barking up (and yes, chopping down) the wrong tree, with said tree usually landing on my head. Survival is ensured by a cushy job in the software industry while I keep pliffing away chances to study more year after year. Am one of those obnoxious people that find puzzles and programming interesting (and easy most of the time).
Interests Reading. Occasionally doodle - mostly while killing time at meetings. _Used to_ write. Beer. The environment. Punctuation without commas - which doesn't mean I don't separate my interests (yes some of them definitely don't go with beer). Driving and - quite recently - riding (those antedeluvian things powered by human effort called bicycles).

What's the most amount of sand you've ever had in your swimming trunks?

Don't Panic. This is a trick question. The trunks don't matter. Just don't get sand on your towel.
