This is Duldrum. Ryan’s blog of randomness, wonderment, and kittehs. :3

In all seriousness, folks, this is a personal blog. I, Ryan, promise to rant, complain, express emotion, make opinions, and argue my points.

Currently, to comment on the blog, I have to be given some sort of method to contact you (the reader). This is done by Disqus, and maybe a contact form here and there.

By visiting my site you agree to the following terms.

You’ll play nice with the other readers and comment-ers. Don’t randomly start a fight in the comments because you think their mother “reeks of hog-filth and garbage.” I can, and will, disable public commenting, requiring you to join my site (giving me an email address to contact you at) to comment on things.
You’ll express your own opinions if you want. Fairly simple. You disagree with me, make it known (in a sudo-polite way, expression is key here).
You’ll keep the language to a minimum. A stray word here and there is acceptable, but I will edit any comments deemed inappropriate.
Your comments you post are yours, but you have given me the right to display or quote them or edit them for content if deemed inappropriate.
You are not a bot, or a spammer. I WILL delete spam accounts, and block spamming IP addresses/domains. I will have no such thing on my site.
You agree to me having full power in this domain, and let me be able to change rules at my whim. I am not required to notify of changes to these guidelines, but I’ll post something on them out of the goodness of my heart (if I’m feeling nice on that day).

NOW THAT THAT’S DONE WITH…

A small site history.

Duldrum was born out of boredom. The base word, doldrums, means:

Doldrums. pl.n. (used with a sing. or pl. verb)

a. A period of stagnation or slump.

b. A period of depression or unhappy listlessness.

(from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/doldrums)

Duldrum is based on that. A u is a broken o, to signify the fact that I am braking the doldrums that I have succumb to with my writings and expressions. In other words? Duldrum is a place to vent sadness, annoyance, and unhappy-ness-ities.

About the Author/Webmaster/All-Around Awesome Guy That Owns This Site:

Ryan, (aka @Roamer145) is the blogger/webmaster here. A college Computer Sciences student, currently working at a small town grocery store, is just your general geek.

He likes to be random, known to talk in the third person, and is always around here somewhere.

A few Facts about Ryan:

He likes pie.
He’s obsessed with shiny things. Like a animal of some sort, he will horde objects that glint in the light.
He dislikes Windows, and Microsoft products.
He dislikes Mac, and Apple products.
He does respect those companies, he just doesn’t like their treatment of users.
He is a Linux user, so, as a general rule, he sticks to using a Linux system unless he can’t avoid it.
Buy him a Samsung or HTC device, and he will love you for it.
Buy him a Linux based device, and he will love you for it, and will be forever friends with you.
Buy him something with cheese in/on/around it, and he may faint from the joys of receiving a cheese product.
He set up a “Cheeseburger Fund” for people to donate to, and to make him eat some random things as an attempt to force himself to try new things.
He can, and has, solved any computer problem that crossed his path thus far. It’s only a matter of cheese, caffeine, and time.
He has caused only 32% of computer problems that have crossed his path thus far. Caused them by playing with configuration files. And by poking things. Mostly by poking things.
If you are around him long enough, he will poke you. It’s a matter of bordom.
He’s inquisitive by nature, and it’s gotten him into trouble on many occasions.

So, that’s about it about Ryan. Just a general geek, student, blogger, worker, and human. 4 parts science, 5 parts questions, 2 parts carbon, and 1 part hot air. Ryan. That sounds about right.
