I'm a hobbyist programmer, part-time sysadmin, and full-time data center automation consulting engineer.

I have experience with myriad editors, shells, and OSes. And, while I'm an ardent emacs user, am pretty much beyond the religious wars of "what's best" when it comes to platform, editor, or toolset: if it works for the problem at hand, and you know it, it's [probably] worthwhile :)

May 13	awarded	Nice Answer
Oct 4	comment	Where did “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” originate? could you add the reference where you found it?
Aug 14	awarded	Yearling
Jun 21	comment	Is there a polite alternative to “No thanks, I'm full”? and it would be "sufficiently" since the word needs to be an adverb to modify "eat" (the verb)
Apr 29	comment	Can changing the order of adjectives alter the literal meaning of a phrase? +1 for set theory
Feb 2	answered	Verbs in a list separated by commas
Feb 2	awarded	Editor
Feb 2	revised	“Half an hour” versus “half hour” added 2 characters in body
Oct 19	awarded	Suffrage
Sep 16	comment	Is “errored” correct usage? "threw" is used in the context of any language that has exceptions (Java, Python, C++, etc) ... personally, I use "errored" quite frequently (and not just in my professional field)
Sep 16	comment	Do “normal people” know the terms URL and GUI? there are a variety of UIs that can be used... command-line, graphical, web, thick-client, flash, etc
Sep 10	comment	Which would be correct: “outputs” or “puts out”? yes: "puts out" is for use when referring to an action such as "he puts out the garbage" (yes, I know - 'takes' would make slightly more sense in that sentence). Output is the result of an action, not the action itself.
Sep 1	comment	Is there a more common phrase that means “preponed”? @Dennis Williamson .. maybe it's a regional or cultural thing?
Aug 31	awarded	Commentator
Aug 31	comment	Mass nouns and counts nouns. Does getting it wrong ever matter? lots of people eat [almost] entire birds, though... :)
Aug 31	answered	Is the word “yearling” appropriate for a recurring event?
Aug 31	answered	Is “I'd've” proper use of the English language?
Aug 31	comment	Is there a more common phrase that means “preponed”? in the contexts in which I tend to operate, "moved up" means to be later (ie, it is synonymous with "pushed"), whereas "moved back" means that it is happening closer to "now".
Aug 31	comment	Is there a more common phrase that means “preponed”? you used one of my favorite words: "misunderestimated"
Aug 26	comment	Alternative to “maze” as a description for Pacman's environment? @Shinto, perhaps not - but [almost] everyone I know would :) .. I guess a better comparison would be a Mercator projection of the Earth (a la what Civilization uses)
