I'm primarly a Ruby hacker but have played with everything from Commodore BASIC to Cocoa. I'd also like to explore Smalltalk, Go, Clojure, Scala, Haskell, OCaml, and maybe even C#.
I'm not currently a programmer by trade, but I'd like to get into it. I do write a lot of scripts to help me in my job.
My day-to-day personal computing setup is in Mac OS X, but I also use a Linux desktop as a backup server and for general tinkering; and I use Windows XP (soon to be 7, woohoo!) at work.
I am also deeply interested (albeit at an amateur remove) in linguistics, especially historical. This dovetails with the fact that I am a conlanger -- someone who creates languages. (I'm not especially prolific at that, though.)
I also like science (especially cognitive science, evolution, and physics) and anthropology. My overarching interest in all these areas is the way something like a genome or language or computer language or culture changes over time and forks into unnumerable new ones.

Should I be worried? Segfaults reported in syslog when merging LVM snapshot (reverting the original back to the snapshot) It was a tough decision, but I'm awarding you the answer because yours was more thorough. |

Should I be worried? Segfaults reported in syslog when merging LVM snapshot (reverting the original back to the snapshot) I have the 2.02.95-4ubuntu1.1 version of lvm2, which seems to be standard in Ubuntu 12.10. It looks like that's still the version that will be in 13.04, so I guess I'll compile the current latest (2.02.98) from source. |

How to allow Page Up in GNU Screen? Ctrl-U and Ctrl-D only scroll a partial screen. You can use Ctrl-B and Ctrl-F for full screens. |

Comment all lines in a text file? Sorry about the "<kbd></kbd>" -- I keep forgetting that doesn't work in comments. I meant just Esc. |

Comment all lines in a text file? @gorkypl: While in insert mode, you'll just see your edit in the first line. Once you hit <kbd>Esc</kbd>, it will apply the edit to the whole block. |

Why is vim creating files with DOS line endings? @Matt: DOS/Windows does use CR+LF, not LF+CR. |
