Frequently asked questions
Are you the automagic.org guy?
No. I wrote some standards documentation and registered some ports using an automagic.org email address, but I'm not that guy. He's cool, though.
Do you know anything about port 9802 or webdav-src-ssl?
Yes, I did the original system port registration for webdav-src-ssl (WebDAV Source over HTTPS). This link is deliberate Google bait so Dru Lavigne will stop asking me about it.
Can I buy your domain name?
No.
I need to write this term paper and I was wondering if...
No.
What's all this stuff about sin?
That was John von Neumann, who famously said:
"Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random numbers is, of course, in a state of sin."
Back when I first set up this site, most computers did exactly that, and a very popular web browser was even seeding its random number generator with the time of day.
Where did you get those stupidly cool business cards?
They're Moo MiniCards.
What do I need to know about whisky?
I'm glad you asked.
