I'm a professional programmer who has just recently allowed himself to be called a programmer. I'm a published writer, graphic designer, and single father of one.

I focus mainly on Ruby, Haskell, and Erlang. I loath (even if they're just tools) C, C++, and Java. I love the Ruby Philosophy, even if the Ruby Community has become something I hate (dry, elitist, and greedy).

Eclipse Phase is a roleplaying game that is the first (AFAIK) to come under the Creative Commons license.

They seed their own torrent for the PDF.

They still sell well at $50 dollars, when the average cost of a RPG book is 20-40.

Right. We see how well that works.

You need to research Eclipse Phase, the RPG.

Scratch that, your ignorance is startling.

And? Some guy posted using the word "nigger". He may not be calling people "nigger", but he used a word that is racially insensitive! Booga booga!

Jesus.

EXCEPT THAT I WASN'T USING IT AS A PEJORATIVE. Jesus fucking christ, this isn't "PC" this is just stupid.

Civility has nothing to do with it. It was a not-so-clever pun. I wasn't actually using it as a pejorative. That should be painfully obvious.

That's so GAE.

I'm currently heavily entrenched in Sinatra. I'm surprised to learn that Django and Rails do user accounts for you. Crazy.
