Incomplete list of those who I am on good terms with, know well, or
both.
Characters
- Sacha Chua (aka sachac) [website]
- Emacs hacker, technology
evangelist, and writer of short stories.
- Max Hapner [blog]
- F/OSS enthusiast and PLUG member. We enjoyed
many a calzone while discussing the merits of various Free Software
programs. I have more respect for KDE than I previously had as a
result of these discussions.
- Luke Hoersten [blog, website]
- PLUG President in 2005-2006 and
2007-2008 (and Secretary of War 2005-2007).
- Pat Finnegan [Pat's Computer Refuge]
- PLUG advisor. Told me I
should apply at RCAC. Donor of many fine machines to PLUG.
- Steve McGinnis
- Friend from middle school and high school. We share
an interest in computers and programming calculators. He is a
networking expert and has taken first place in a national
Cisco-sponsored competition. For a while he hosted my website on a
computer with Red Hat 9, but I ended up switching to HCoop after a
while.
- Christian Naylor [website]
- Friend from PLUG. We shared quite a few
anime titles second semester of my 3rd year of college.
- David O'Toole [website]
- Friend from
#emacs and ##metaconference who
wants to make Emacs Lisp an even more kick-ass programming language
than it currently is, by means of a library with select Common Lisp
like tools.
- Daniel Palacio
- Friend from PLUG, and its President in 2006-2007. I
drove him around a lot since he didn't have a car. We hacked on his
Sony Vaio together and managed to get a pretty decent Debian
GNU/Linux installation.
- Andrew Shaw [Xanga Site]

year, second semester. He introduced me to the noble pastime of
watching anime. We went to several ACEN anime conferences together

my BCLUG days. We met during the first BCLUG meeting. He is the
one I have to thank for notifying me that I cannot easily get into
grad school with a CS degree from Bethel. He was my project partner
in CS240 at Purdue, which involved collaboration using GNU Arch and
dealing with lame Solaris 8 quirks.

fellow
#emacs channel person. Works for the FSF.

Vice President. He helped me to get the job at RCAC.
