[edit]

This page is outdated.

I live in Tucson, Arizona. My current programming interests include writing esoteric programming languages and cryptography.

I am the author of several esoteric programming languages and language compilers. Please see my user page on the Esolang wiki for a list.

My anonymous contributions to Wikipedia have been limited to spelling and grammar changes, and several questions posted to Talk pages. As most of the work I do involves original research, this is unlikely to change in the near future.

Nicknames

[edit]

I frequently visit several channels on IRC; my nickname is calamari. This comes from the Lucasarts X-Wing computer game, based on Star Wars. I liked the Calamari Cruiser ship design, which is also shown in the space battle in Return of the Jedi (where the fleet is commanded by Admiral Ackbar, a Mon Calamari). However, this obscure history was unknown to most IRC'ers, and I soon found out that the word calamari means squid, or squid used as food. Since then, I have discovered calamari, and enjoyed several different preparations of it: boiled, sauteed, and of course, fried. I gained several new nicknames, including killerkalamari and Kid Squid, which I now use as my domain name.
