Devin Carraway

Personal web pages are roughly analogous to indiscriminately taping those little cardboard holiday decorations to one's window, even for holdays you don't celebrate. Or holidays you despise, or holidays that happened months ago.
Rather like the web, in fact. A lot of faded cardboard decorations taped to window glass whose occasion has generally passed and that curl up at the edges.
Devin Carraway is an assortment of typical and atypical characteristics assembled in the form of a longhaired flagrantly liberal UNIX programmer, self-titled engineer and sometime sysadmin. He writes code. He's 5'9.4" and narrower than the models in weight-loss commercials. Cynical to a fault, and then way past a fault, to the degree of vanishing into some sort of poorly-translated east german political tome college students give up halfway through. Speaks in long sentences and enjoys polysyllablic diction. Unforgiving and usually unaccomodating of ignorance, stupidity and thoughtlessness other than his own. Self-effacing and egotistical in varying proportion.
None of my pages are kept up to date, few of them are accurate. Some are outright lies. If you wanted truth, aside from Keats' beatifics, you've come to the wrong medium.
Kim Alm described personal pages as "... the pet rock of the 90s. They all have them, they all think they're very cute. But in a few years they're going to look back and be pretty embarrassed." I certainly hope so.
(Smug note: I suffer no particular illusions that any of this is cute. Worse yet for having done it anyway, but I can live with that.)
(under construction)
You've come this far. Abandon free will and choose from these. Or be not a mouse but a (wo)man, and choose one out of sheer desperation anyway.

Everything worth reading on this page has the entire
horizontal space to be read in. Unusual, eh? Also the font sizes
are relative, the background is white, the CSS is external, and you
weren't just beaten to death with cookies. :)
For the visually disabled reading the page with text-to-speech converters:
the rest of this is in tables, and isn't worth reading anyway.
