Why do you post this stuff?
Neorants is half weblog, half self-therapy. It’s a place where I can update friends and family about what’s happening in my life, and an easy place for me to jot down thoughts inside my head that I need to get out. From a late-night mind dump that I just need to get out of my system when I have nobody to talk to, to complaints about day to day annoyances, to technical commentary, to stuff I just find funny — if it’s in my head, it’ll more than likely end up here at some point.
At some point one of my posts has most likely annoyed you greatly. If none of them have yet, then brace yourself — you’re just about due. In either case, lighten up. It’s nothing personal, or perhaps, it’s completely personal, in the sense that my opinions are my own. They may or may not agree with yours, and may or may not reflect reality as you perceive it. Please know that just because I have an opinion on just about everything doesn’t mean that I generally presume myself any more qualified than your average trained weasel to hold those opinions up to public scrutiny. For those of you who don’t know much about trained weasels, let me assure you that while they are no slouches when it comes to attacking random passers-by, they are not skilled in the art of public relations. In short, I bring up my thoughts here simply because this is my place on the web and I can say what I want to say, worthwhile or not.
Who the heck are you?
I’m just your average computer geek, pretty much. My parents bought a Tandy Color Computer 2 when I was around 6 years old, and I’ve been programming ever since. I wrote some open-source software you might have used at some point.
On a more personal note: I don’t take myself very seriously, and I don’t expect others to take themselves too seriously around me, either. Life is just too short to deal with people that can’t get or take a joke. I’m a Christian. I like all kinds of music, from Louis Armstrong to Rob Zombie. There’s a whole lot more to me, but you’ll just have to keep reading the site to put together the pieces.
Wow! An opinionated computer geek who never shuts up? I want you! Can I have your baby?
Sorry, ladies. I’m taken.
