The Lumpy Noodles Homepage

Welcome to my mighty homepage, which actually has nothing to do with noodles, or lumps (well, maybe a few lumps, but I'm not telling where). The location of this site is soon going to change. Try here for now.

WARNING

Table of Contents

For those of you who have been here before and don't want to wade through all this crap.

• Features.
• Purpose.
• Not at all FAQ.
• The Real Start. After the cruft and babbling.
• Computer Topics.
• Computer Games.
• Academic Topics.
• Music.
• Other stuff.

Interesting features of this page

• A near complete lack of snazzy graphics, sounds and coffee-related programming languages(*).
• Contains 0 grams of fat.
• May be harmful to children, pregnant women and obese, balding conservatives.
• Optimized for viewing with Lynx. To paraphrase the wittiness of so many lusers: "get a real browser! Use lynx!"
• Ranting and raving: of the quality you used to have to go find a drunken bum for.

(*) Ok, so there might be a little about Java(TM), but it's not praise :P... There's been an image added, too.

What it's for

This page is for the express purpose of having a web page. Maybe, if I'm lucky, it'll also annoy the hell out of someone. I can only cross my fingers and wonder what hell looks like as it exits.

In case this doesn't put your mind at ease, you can look at my Not at all FAQ.

Ok, enough enough of that brand of crap

Now we move on to the brand of crap where I give you links to things I'm interested in writing about, making (in)valid points about, or just providing information on. From here, you select the things you are also interested in and follow those links. Neat, isn't it. What a novel concept. Well, here they are

Computer related

• Programming. Covers everything from programming in Lisp to poems about Lisp. Oh, and there are a few other, less important languages, like C, C++, perl, python, Java(TM)...
• Linux. You know you want to use a real operating system :P
• Muds. A variety of techniques, from using different types of dirt to adding water in different ways. Also, a little about those things out there where a bunch of people get together, and interact in text-based bliss.
• Software. Links and info about my own and other peoples software projects.
• Gnu. Information on the Gnu's Not Unix project and the Free Software Foundation.
• Guile. A page for gnu guile. Mostly a holding area for stuff I'm working on.
• News. Recent (and probably old by the time you read it) news, mostly to do with free software.
• Flame subjects. Some of the things that are likely to start a little war on damn near any list.

Games

Yeah, ok, so that's the real point of computers.

• Angband, a roguelike game (allegedly) based on the works of JRRT, though alternate theories are explored on this page. Also includes links (what a surprise!) and little things that I've written for the game.

That's it for now

Academic

(Warbles) Oh Ivory Tower, how I miss thee... (bloody scud missles, couldn't hit the broad side of a barn)
Yep, here's some links to the seedier side of information and knowledge...

• Mathematics. All the bizarre and fun things you can do with numbers and letters.
• Computer science. Enough dry theory to make the lowliest of geeks salavate with excitement. I'd better not come back and find byte marks on my hash table... (oh ouch). This is really taking a long time to actually get done, because, well, I don't care that much, and no one reads this page except me ;)

Music

An aural assault, complete with html markup!

• My stuff. My own personal mods and midi files... be careful, some of these may inflict serious brain damage.
• Computer music. Info and links for the various flavours of computer based music.

Other

I obviously didn't put much thought into this header. You can only hope I put more thought into the rest of the pages, but I make no guarantees.

• Authors. People who write things that I enjoy reading. Kurt Vonnegut and Margaret Atwood are the main stars of this page.
• $cientology. Just to show that you can get people to believe absolutely anything.

Other people's pages

Here I'm going to stop pretending that I'm going to write a detailed page for this stuff and just put a few topical links

• Karen's page. A good online friend of mine, and one of the spiffiest people you're ever likely to meet (I'll think of something nicer to say later :).
• Rush Limbaugh vs. Reality. It might be ``the way things are,'' but only in Rush's private little world. I'm not terribly political (it bores me, really)... this is mostly for a little jab at one particular person (see the last link ;).

If you're waiting anxiously to see what lies ahead for this page, you can check out my TODO list.

When you get to the bottom you go back to the [TOP] of the slide.

What's with this lumpy crap?
