There is nothing particularly useful here yet. (Will there ever be?) You will have to amuse yourself with the following for now:

• mini-rant on email address validation
• the impressively bad Debian release cycle
• my LinkedIn profile
• pluc
• archive of the old bsdports@unixathome.org mailing list from before it became op-tech

or

• the remaining portion of the web worth viewing
