An Inhabitant of Carcosa<p>Moving hosts from emacs.ch, time for a new <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a>. </p><p>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 <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/Gemini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gemini</span></a> and back on <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/Gopher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gopher</span></a>. I program in a mainstream language for work, and so write weird stuff mostly in <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/CommonLisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommonLisp</span></a> for fun.</p><p>I'm an old <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/goth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>goth</span></a> and love the aesthetics and literature of the fin de siècle. I also love <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>horror</span></a> but I'm much more well-versed in horror <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>literature</span></a> than film.</p><p>If I talk about politics, it will be more about issues, events, and theory than about elections and politicians.</p><p>I lighten up my dark aesthetic and poke a ray of hope through my despair by watching <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a>. Yes, of course <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/DeepSpaceNine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeepSpaceNine</span></a> (<a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/DS9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DS9</span></a>) is my favorite series. I study <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/tlhInganHol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tlhInganHol</span></a> for fun, but I'm not very good at it. tawmeyDaq vulqangan, tlhImmeyDaq tlhIngan.</p><p>I post mostly in <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>English</span></a>, read posts in Spanish, French, and tlhInganHol; will machine-translate posts in other languages that look interesting.
