AKA Brandon. Software engineer. Gamer. I like painting miniatures for tabletop wargames like Relicblade and Battletech. Other hobbies include astronomy and reading (fiction mostly, favourite books are the Aubrey/Maturin series and I also generally like sci-fi and fantasy). I used to drink whiskey (with an e) and smoke camel wides but have given up both. I greatly prefer pirates over ninjas, but both have their place. GNU/Linux is my IDE.
