Hello, readers. My name is James, but you can call me Roguelazer. I’m a student at Harvey Mudd College, and I originally hail from Fall River, Massachusetts. Once I get out of school (May 2010), I’m signed on to join Yelp. I’ve been pinging around the Internet for a few years, and some of you might know me from other places; e.g. Vendetta Online.
As might be sort of obvious from my posts and general style, I’m a self-professed computer nerd. I run Gentoo Linux (~amd64, if you’re interested) on my desktop, Debian Squeeze on my old laptop, and Mac OS X 10.6 on my Apple MacBook Pro (for more information, check out the Computers page). I also work with various Linuxen and OS X machines at work. While I like to think of myself as an occasional advocate for open-source software, I don’t have an intrinsic problem with closed software, as is evidenced by my use of OS X. I just think that the open-source development model tends to produce a superior product.
On the other hand, I do rather vehemently dislike Windows and the associated ecosystem. Not really much more to be said about that.
This is at least the fourth incarnation of this website, depending on how you count the times that it’s been just a blog. I’ve finally given up on writing my own and decided to use something that somebody (not me) actually feels like putting time into. So, obligatory plug, this website is powered by WordPress. Yay!
You can generally contact me at roguelazer_AT_roguelazer@dot@com. Without the obsfucation, obviously. You can also reach me via AIM/etc. with the nickname Roguelazer. Or you could click the big pretty button below…
