New page

I am a software developer in Columbia, MD, USA.

My NetHack credentials:

* My first game was in late 1988; the then-current version was [[NetHack 2.3e]].
* I have ascended at least once in every class except [[Knight]] and [[Monk]], including the pre-[[NetHack 3.3.0|3.3.0]] [[Elf]] class.
* Alas, I still have yet to ascend in any 3.0 version, even as a [[Valkyrie]]. These, to put it briefly, have much of the modern bestiary, but provide few of the modern resources to contend with them.
* These days, I'm as much a NetHack hacker as a NetHack player:
** I published the Hell Patch, which I've got to get around to updating someday.
** I brought [http://spanish-nethack.sourceforge.net/ a Spanish translation] out of the realm of wouldn't-it-be-nice, though being a Gringo, I am by no means the only participant in this project.
** For those of you who play TTY in Windows, I am the "ray" in nhraykey.dll. (Alas, this also means I am personally responsible for bug W343-2.) This was a back-port of some of the stuff I did for Spanish NetHack to improve the workings of non-USA keyboards.
* As a sort of freelance NetHack archeologist, I uncovered the PDP-11 and PC/IX ports of a [[Jay Fenlason's Hack|pre-Brouwer Hack]] and also the [http://vmsone.com/~decuslib/unixsig/uni87a/hack/ UNI87A archive] that made [[Hack 1.0.2]] whole again.

I am presently writing up the historic versions of NetHack.
