I am a programmer, but I have spent years perfecting disguises that allow me to mingle occasionally with surface-dwellers. With my pale, clammy skin and unnaturally large, light-sensitive eyes, I could never have passed for a productive member of society otherwise.
I live in a small village in the Himalayas in North India, and I am an expert at projecting an air of calm authority in dire circumstances.
I dabble compulsively, and write with varying levels of expertise and enthusiasm about Unix, linguistic trivia, bureaucracy, food, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
