This is a pointless web page that I created in order to replace my ancient and obsolete web page with something slightly less ancient and obsolete.

Professional

• I study linguistics, but I'm currently taking time off before graduate school. My primary interest is in phonology.
  • Poster "Improved electropalatography apparatus" presented at the University of Utah Student Conference in Linguistics
• I'm employed as a system administrator. I primarily deal with Unix servers, networking and system management and monitoring automation.
• I'm associated with G6 Networks, which I co-founded and which provides hosting for this web page. I have occasionally done general Unix and networking consulting for small businesses, but I'm not presently accepting new work.

Tools

• XClearBuffer, an accessibility device
• Autoaliases tools, documentation coming eventually
• swupdate will probably be posted here soon
• Miscellaneous small scripts and tools (mostly obsolete)

Personal

• I enjoy contra dancing. There are several regularly-scheduled dances in the Wasatch Front area.
• I play (mostly) dance music on Anglo-system concertina.
• I'm a ham radio operator. My callsign is KD7YAF, but I'm not on the air much - I tend to tinker with equipment more than I talk. I'm interested in ARDF.
• I occasionally work on sewing projects, mostly of bags and other such utilitarian objects. I haven't designed my own clothing, but most other things I've made are my own designs.
• I was the "fourth triumvir" in the strangely-named Sgt. Plautus' Lonely Hearts Club Classicists, a Latin reading group which formed during an Eta Sigma Phi leadership vacuum. While it was active, we read interesting Latin poetry, some rather obscure. We assembled glosses and grammar notes so that second-year Latin students would be able to participate.
