  • » Intro

    Hello, my name is Dan.

    I am a software engineer, mathematics lover, radio ham and musician.

    I work remotely to care for my future wife, Tsumiki.

    I also enjoy discordant and nonsensical commentary.

    I can speak about maths, physics, computer science and linguistics at length.

  • » Characters

    Some of my favourite characters and characters that I identify with are:

    • from Star Trek:
      • Spock, because I often think of the world logically
      • Evil (Mirror) Spock, because of his outrageous beard and he's just hysterical
      • Data, because I am curious, confused and if he was human he'd probably be autistic
    • from Danganronpa:
      • Komaeda Nagito, because I'm very lucky and obsessed with hope, and also trash
      • Chihiro Fujisaki, because I love programming and feel similar about life
    • from Mirai Nikki:
      • Yukiteru Amano, because my waifu is Yuno, and Yuki is depressed and I would act like he acts in the OVA
    • from Berserk:
      • Griffith, because he's sneaky and smart and he looks fabulous
    • from Kuroshitsuji:
      • Grell Sutcliff, because he's hysterical, fabulous and has good taste in butlers
    • from Mahoutsukai no Yome:
      • Elias Ainsworth, because he's caring, doesn't act like outrageous humans and Chise is my waifu
    • from Neon Genesis Evangelion:
      • Shinji Ikari, because... existentialism, essentially. He's a whiner, but I like his thought patterns when he's being existential.
    • from MLP:
      • Twilight Sparkle, because knowledge and being awesome
    • from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland:
      • The Mad Hatter, because I like his sense of humour, eccentricity and hats
    • from The Filthy Frank Show:
      • Real Frank, because he's lost and good to his crew. ^Also depression, yay^
    • from Back to the Future:
      • "Doc" Emmett Brown, because he's eccentric and time travel, hell yeah
    • from Doctor Who:
      • The Doctor, again because of eccentricity, inventions and awesomeness

    Both my physical and mental health are very low at the moment, but I am always more than happy to talk about them.

    • Mild short-term memory loss (allegedly caused by mild PTSD)
    • Fibromyalgia
    • Asperger's Syndrome
    • ADHD (however it is not as H as it used to be)
    • Anxiety

    Mathematics has always been a great pastime for me.

    I have invented quite a few visualisations and generators for several interesting pieces of mathematics, some of which you can see and try on my projects repo on GitHub

    Some notable (read: working right now) examples are:

    • Continued Fraction Expander
    • A set of gravity simulators (sun version, left click for planets, middle click for stars), (black hole version)
    • Cell Automata
    • Stern-Brocot Graph Tones (warning: loud audio)
       (this is actually the answer similar to the riddle I posed on my YouTube channel)
