Who is this guy?[edit]

I'm a software engineer and I make my living working for Google in Mountain View, California. As of this writing (January 2016), I spend most of my "play" time on Dwarf Fortress.

Useful links[edit]

  • How to add human trade representatives. I haven't tried this, but I'm putting it here because I want to give it a shot when I gen my next world. It's by Quietust, so it's probably reliable.
  • The Character Table page is helpful when you want to use special characters like ‼, ☼, ≡ or any others used in game.
  • Some useful logic links:
  • Some forum posts I want to be able to find. Mostly useful designs like traps and such.

My own pages[edit]

I haven't written some of these yet, but I plan on writing a few topics listed below. We'll see if I ever actually get to them. :)

  • Dfhack linux build HOWTO - A description of how to build dfhack on Linux.
  • Mechanical Primer - A basic HOWTO for building things like doors, floodgates and bridges and linking them together with mechanisms to make complex constructions.
  • Minor Challenges - A list of suggestions for making the game tougher without changing its entire character.
  • Civilian Alert Burrow - How to set up a "Inside" burrow and use it with a civilian alert. I keep having to explain this in the forums, so I'll make a page to point people to.

That's it for now. Not much to see here yet. Gotta start somewhere, though.
