Joseph Sullivan's website - c0d3runn3r
Being Net Admin for Alyrica as well as a freelance programmer, I play with neat stuff on the web all day long. But I still don't have my own website, at any rate until now. Drop me a message! My email address (and MSN messenger) is zgreycoat at yahoo.com. For AIM, I'm zgreycoat1.
So here's a start. Some of my big projects:
Software and electronics:
- Read and write master boot records from floppies
mbr_read.exe and mbrwrite.exe [WIN32] - Create DHTML popup menus
- A patch for qmail (this quick hack fixes a problem where Outlook Express hangs on download -- not qmail's fault though)
- How to build a cheap ($5) laser data link
Literature I've written:
- A compendium of stories meant as humor:
- An essay on True Art
- A piece I wrote years ago to get my folks to raise my bedtime
- Political Essays
Dancing:
Sometime in the middle of 2004, I was abducted by aliens from another world, with long fingers and bulbous eyes. Finding me a remarkable subject, they performed a series of painful experiments on me! After having my brain repacked into my cranium for about the tenth time, I awoke with a desire to dance -- particularly the Nightclub 2 and west coast swing (WCS). Although finding yourself to possess a previously unknown affinity is slightly disturbing, It is not always unpleasant.
- Here are several video clips of "experts" doing WCS -- thank you, Jenny
- Here is another collection, this set from cadenzajon
Music:
I really like a couple of Alicia Machado's songs, Detrás del olvido and Yo soy la otra. I speak Spanish, but songs are hard enough to understand even when written in english. I looked for the lyrics to Olvido but couldn't find anything. Hmm. Actually, Alicia doesn't even seem to have a website. I listened to the song, tried to transcribe it, and then made a loose translation. If this means anything to you, I'm posting it here: Detrás del olvido - por la bella Alicia Machado
Oh yeah... I was talking about music, wasn't I? I like hip hop, *good* techno/dance (not boring stuff); and about a zillion random artists from Michelle Branch and Norah Jones to Tommy Lee, Fountains of Wayne, and Keith Green. As if THAT has any more relevance to someone's character than their favorite colour...?
