Muto's Shack - Weblog - Projects - Microblog
Hi, I'm Ben Card (MutoShack). I'm a functional programmer from Alberta, Canada.
I write code in Lisp and am very interested in POSIX-like systems, namely GNU. My main computer runs GNU/ Linux, but I often use a GNU/ Hurd in a virtual machine.
I enjoy writing in Guile and C.
I have a lifetime membership on Arpanet. See my SDF site or, if you have a Gopher client, browse my phlog!

I'm a 35mm photographer. I enjoy still-life and street photography and am always learning new tricks in GIMP. Currently I'm thinking of investing in a digital camera.
I play the ocarina and I make an effort to sing regularly. I also listen to music. I'm a fan of 'The Grateful Dead', 'Jukebox the Ghost', 'Queen', and 'David Bowie'
I keep a diary to record day-to-day life and poetic expression.
I study marketing and rhetorical tactics every now and then.
I enjoy kendo, but I never joined a group.
This is my website, which I use to express thoughts too long to fit in a Mastodon status. I'll write about computer programming most of the time.
This website follows the design philosophy that I describe here.
I may introduce an advertising/sponsoring mechanism to this site, but I don't want slow-as-heck .gif banners or Google adsense. Give me some time to work out a fast & efficient system.
I'm a total stdio junkie. I want to keep software small and portable.
Small is not the opposite of user-friendly. I believe small and fast, well-documented programs are way better than a clusterdump of bad animations and so-called "eye candy".
Simply put... I want the world to stop moving backwards.
