Can you tell I love these little tags? I wonder if I'm lagging a server somewhere right now...?

I've recently moved to Georgia from Florida. I completed a Master's degree in computer science, and now I've found a pretty great job here.

I have a few goals, most of them long-term. That's what I'm doing right now - working towards making those goals a reality.

I want to teach (again) some day. Towards that end, I'm studying the process of learning and studying the structure of courses in some of my free time. I loved being a teaching assistant during my university years, and I love gathering information on highly-technical topics, so I'm hoping to put the two together to spread some knowledge! :)

I'm also working towards becoming a better software developer. I know some things very well, and I have some experience, but there's always room to improve. Software development is one of my greatest passions.

How to model a system, how to program a model, new programming languages, new tricks in current programming languages, why C++ takes forever to compile, how much longer before Linux becomes a great gaming platform, how to teach better, how to learn better, how to advocate things that I think are important objectively, MOOC, how broken the current education model is and how to go about fixing it, nutrition, budgeting resources, polyamory...

Cooking, eating, and winding down with Cloverlimes, and likely thinking about what I might do differently during the weekend. I work hard during the week, and I love it. However, the weekend is special - it's a time to explore a new idea, a new person, a new hobby. So... Fridays are kind of special.

I intellectualize - a lot. It might make me come off as a bit reserved.

I *adore* people who are enjoy playing with numbers, people who write and express themselves well, and people who love to tinker with technology.

Hot showers are part of a great start to a day. A daily cuddling session is a must for me.

I'm most looking forward to meeting people in person. If you think you might be interested in meeting for a movie, lunch, board games, video games, pair or collaborative programming, let me know. I'd be happy to hear from you.

On that note, I'm not looking for sex. Maybe somewhere down the line after we've been friends for some time (I'm poly-friendly), it's a possibility, but definitely not the focus of my interest.

You saw that I answered a question publicly, and took the time to write my thoughts out, and you have something to say. +1 for you if you message me in this fashion!
