Dave Gauer

Some interests: computer programming of all kinds, Linux/BSD/Unix, art, books (genre fiction, computing, history, biographies, art monographs), film, music (metal!), boardgames, and watching small creatures in the back yard.

It's done! A side-quest that turned into a project of its own: An Emoji-picking popup library with 130Kb of Emoji data into 70Kb (un-minified, un-gzipped, with comments and everything)...
