My name is David.  For further personal information, please submit a notarized request to the Department of Red Tape and Bureaucratic Runarounds, and my staff will promptly find a way to lose it.

I am currently trying to learn the basics of programming (starting with Python), and will use this site to unleash my horrifyingly amateurish early code upon the unsuspecting citizens of the Internet.

The site will also serve as a directory to any other projects I am involved in.  (There have been vague rumblings regarding a webcomic collaboration.)

If you’re wondering about the odd site name (”macroidtoe”), it represents the culmination of a lengthy battle to come up with a name which no one else will ever use, and was pulled from a line of dialogue in the 1966 novel Cugel the Clever by Jack Vance:

“So now, be off! Or I inflict upon you the Spell of the Macroid Toe, whereupon the signalized member swells to the proportions of a house.”

I haven’t received any angry e-mails from anyone claiming that I stole their name yet, and if I ever do, I will know that I have found “the one” and will immediately reply with a marriage proposal.
