Can't remember if I've done #introductions, so:

I code professionally in #Clojure and for fun in #Lua, #Emacs, and #Racket

I care deeply about making computing serve users thru #FreeSoftware but don't have easy answers as to how.

I sell DIY #keyboards and kits: https://atreus.technomancy.us

I'm doing #gamedev: https://technomancy.itch.io/bussard

I grew up in Indonesia & Singapore and lived in Thailand 2 years.

It pains me to use all these #unironichashtags but I guess I need to get over it?

at the seatac airport there's these security lanes off to the side that don't have the naked scanners, just the metal detectors. usually they're closed, but they opened that up just as I got to it today and it felt a little bit like unlocking a secret level. (only instead of getting a rocket launcher I got to skip the opt-out pat down)

added a note to my profile inviting followers to request CW if any of my posts that are distressing happen to omit them.

yes, it's bad to demand CW rudely but no one should be shy about calling me out in good faith if I neglect the courtesy.

my kid, while playing http://nandgame.com: "I can't believe you can build an adding circuit with JUST nand gates"

me, anticipating the point at which we can work thru the whole nand2tetris course together: "oh boy kid you ain't seen nothing yet"

"Fellas, is it gay to use git? After all, you're basically staring at hunks the whole time."

the code for my son's binary #keyboard

http://p.hagelb.org/binkey.c.html

much of it comes from the sample code for the denouncing library; the rest is his. I'll tell him about the bit shift operator soon, I promise.

he's coded it so the red button sends 'a' in one position and 'b' in the other; still working on the calculation to collect all 8 bits and send the keycode at that point.

I helped point to a couple libraries for Arduino and get the tools installed but the code has been his other than that.

the larger of my two smols has started construction on a binary keyboard

all his idea, honest

since I run my own small business solo (https://atreus.technomancy.us) I have to take many roles including product designer, webmaster, customer support, accounting, and manufacturing.

but I think my favorite role is that of motorcycle delivery man.

got a recruiter email from a tech megacorp again; you know what that means

gotta do a bunch of research to identify which particular evil things that megacorp is doing so I can compose an informed reply in the hopes that the recruiter raises concerns to management and they start realizing that being evil affects their bottom line
