My nickname is derived from the fact that I like monkeys and I consider myself a sage, in a sense (viz., I like reading and learning and discussing issues).

My interests are philosophy, theology, writing, photography and art.

That's about it! Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

Here is an ancient Germanic curse upon wiki-vandals, which I just made up:

Die Flöhe auf Zehntausend verärgerten Kamels läuft innen Ihrer Unterwäsche!

Oh, a sleeping drunkard
Up in Central Park,
And a lion-hunter
In the jungle dark,
And a Chinese dentist,
And a British queen—
All fit together
In the same machine.
Nice, nice, very nice;
Nice, nice, very nice;
Nice, nice very nice—
So many different people
In the same device.

I love visiting with Grandma and Grandpa, and writing letters to parents, and pushing lawn mowing machine so Grandpa’s hyena don’t get disturbed.

I am a fairly proficient HTML/XHTML/XML/XUL/CSS user. Same with JavaScript, perl, Ruby, Python, C# and PHP. I've recently been playing with D, and learning Haskell and OCaml (Haskell is fun). Most recently my favorite tinker-toy is Vala—which is a preprocessor that turns a language with almost the exact same syntax and semantics as C# 2.0, into standard C code using GLib / GObject for its object system, and produces native binaries.

• Mozilla Firefox (created 8 or so 3rd-party browser extensions, io.js module featured on XULPlanet.com).
• Last-Exit (some aesthetic patches and added playing /remaining time display).
• Mono (couple of patches for BackgroundWorker).
• Others I may have forgotten about.
