Python, Perl, and C language systems programmer on UNIX. All puns are welcome here. I read so many light novels that I spend much of my free time with an online light novel book club. I'm interested in most creative stuff, but I lose interest if it is sales instead of showing. I don't post that much, also check my pinned introduction. #wss366
