I am a programmer, web developer, linux sysadmin, and all around geek. :-)

I'm LDS, speak fluent mandarin chinese, and am currently a Junior at NC State. I love to dance, sing, drive a stick, and read, among many other things. I am enthusiastic, patient, efficient, adventurous, and easygoing.

I used to have a blog here.

I never really updated it, so that was pretty pointless. Now I use Facebook.

I'm lead developer for the hot new social media site

TheNinthCut

TNC is a community-driven anime news, information, and media site.

TNC promotes your creativity and empowers your ideas.

TNC breaks the mold with anomalous thought.

TNC will be releasing its public beta in January, 2009.

So what does NILBUS mean anyway?

Well, I don't know. But I do like recursive acronyms!

My favorite color is green.

I have green eyes, a green Fossil watch, a green SonyEricsson phone, and lots of other yummy green stuff.

If you ever get me a birthday present, maybe you can get me something green. :D

Most people find my website because of the linux how-to guide I wrote:

Copying Windows to a new drive, using linux

Since there's useful information in it about backing up the boot sector, partition table, etc, I've actually even used that guide a few times myself since I first wrote it in 2005.

Encryption is cool, but mostly useless for what I do. Even so, I have my own PGP key.

Public PGP Key

Anything that you encrypt with my public key can only be decrypted by me with my private key. Use it for super-secret messages for my eyes only.

My public key can decrypt any message encrypted or signed by my private key, thus verifying that I was the author rather than someone posing as me.

My key was signed by many other people, only after I presented photo ID with my key's fingerprint. This certifies that this key truly belongs to me.

Naturally, this site design looks better in Firefox on Linux.

I love taking pictures, of nature especially. These are several of my photos from home and abroad.
