Strike the earth! I am a Hacker interested in Computer Security and Programming Language theory. I also have dabbled in Machine Learning for what its worth. I greatly enjoy computer and software history and am also interested in the human element in computing. I suppose it's HCI but I have had no formal education on the subject. It is more within the realm of social issues and computing (or just social issues in general). If I am to live my life working on computers, it shall be to the benefit of my community, of the people I know. And as a trans woman, I know that community is important. I think this community is a great example of how social networks should work prior to the realization that there's money to be made off of exploiting your users. Finally, I have a lingering interest in Plan 9 but have not had much of a chance to use it. The underlying ideas of the OS are fascinating and I would love for it to become more popular (so that I can use it as a daily driver ;]). If you want to chat, feel free to send me an email here codysseus@sdf.org I would love to hear from you :)
