About Me

:eM tuobA

I blog at http://apogent.wordpress.com
I flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/11866475@N05/
I twitter here: http://twitter.com/lordjumper

Both seemingly at random.

In some of my free time, I maintain WiScope
(http://wiscope.sourceforge.net)
a program that allows you to see who's on your wireless network by polling your access points.

My Interests

Playing the mandolin and banjo, Genealogy, Programming, Gaming, Other assorted geek things that involve math and/or science.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who uses WiScope or Rizap3d .(I also contribute code occasionally to Rizap).

Music:

Traditional music from around the world, punk, folk, bluegrass, german rap, etc.

Television:

Stargate shows, House, Heroes, Old TV on DVD!

Books:

I'll read just about anything. For fiction, my fave author is Gene Wolfe, for non-fiction it doesn't matter as long as I'm learning something useful and/or new to me, and for history, Simon Schama.

Heroes:

Spiderman, The Tick, My Dad

My Blog

My blog has moved

I've started a blog on wordpress, and I'll actually blog on that one (I have long term plans, at that). http://apogent.wordpress.com Peace....
