dctrud @ randomroad.net

Hello! I'm a general computer nerd, music lover, mediocre cyclist, and this is my small piece of the gemini space. I'm dctrud in various places on the internet, but as with anything on the internet... a dctrud you find elsewhere might not always be me!

Stuff That's Here

I'll try to post entries in a gemlog periodically. I've not long returned, so you'll see some big gaps here! Hopefully it'll be somewhat non-techie, but we'll see how that goes.

I previously hosted this capsule on a 21 year-old Sun Blade 100 UltraSparc II computer in my home office. If you are interested in more about that:

The Sun will be back, but due to a transatlantic move this capsule is currently on a Linux VPS at Vultr.

I used to have a spacewalk setup to keep track of updates on pages around the gemini space I liked to read. I'm enjoying the feed subscriptions in Lagrange at present, so not sure whether I'll ressurect the spacewalk setup properly, but here's the page for now:

Interesting links / things I read.

More About Me

I'm originally from a small village in Cornwall, UK, but moved to the USA about 10 years ago now. I live in a fairly boring, but pleasant, suburb of the North Texas metroplex. As well as being a computer nerd I'm a music nerd, and try to stay fit by cycling a bit. I've recently gotten back into buying vinyl, mostly 80s/90s dance music, and being a living room DJ :-)

Most likely you'd bump into me hanging around on SDF COMmode chat, or SDF/tilde IRC, during various excellent aNONradio and tilderadio streaming shows. Quite a little community exists around these, and it's well worth checking out if you like the idea of listening to a range of music while hanging out with some excellent, friendly people.

If you ever want to drop me an email, you can reach me at any of:
