An Inhabitant of Carcosa's Post

Moving hosts from emacs.ch, time for a new #introduction.

I'm old and disgusted with the squandered/co-opted promise of the WWW. We were going to make something good with it. Instead I'm on #Gemini and back on #Gopher. I program in a mainstream language for work, and so write weird stuff mostly in #CommonLisp for fun.

I'm an old #goth and love the aesthetics and literature of the fin de siècle. I also love #horror but I'm much more well-versed in horror #literature than film.

If I talk about politics, it will be more about issues, events, and theory than about elections and politicians.

I lighten up my dark aesthetic and poke a ray of hope through my despair by watching #StarTrek. Yes, of course #DeepSpaceNine (#DS9) is my favorite series. I study #tlhInganHol for fun, but I'm not very good at it. tawmeyDaq vulqangan, tlhImmeyDaq tlhIngan.

I post mostly in #English, read posts in Spanish, French, and tlhInganHol; will machine-translate posts in other languages that look interesting. Toots are deleted after a month unless pinned or active.
