This website is incredibly old. I wrote a lot of it while I was in high school, and the rest while I was in college. I made a few 1/16th hearted attempts to update it, but I just gave up. My current website is at http://www.chrislansdown.com/, where I've started over from scratch and things are newer and much better. Also, a lot less like a teenager wrote them. :)
I'm leaving this here for the time being in part because I'm hopelessly sentimental about childhood things, and it's kind of funny to see things I've done which are quite old. I recommend skipping it and going to my real website, though.
My name is Christopher Tomaras Lansdown and I recently graduated
from the math program at Lehigh
University. I got my bachelor's degree from Alfred University. My favorite
areas of study are programming (computer science), mathematics,
pholosophy, theology, and philology. I've programmed in assembly (x86
and mips), C (on linux and windows), C++, Javascript, and Perl. I am
a native English speaker and have studied Spanish, German, and a
little bit of Latin and Greek.
I used to be on my high school's crew
team and still try to keep up with rowing. It's a wonderful sport
that I recommend to everyone. I also juggle and knit in my spare
time.
My jabber ID is ctl@jabber.org and my AIM username is TheServantOfAll.
(Netscapes earlier than version 6 will probably display the Style
Sheets that I use incorrectly due to bugs in it. Upgrading to Netscape 6
should fix this.)
The nation's largest breeders of several species of lizard, including the wonderful Argentine Black and White Tegu (I absolutely love my tegu that I got from them, Niels). I designed and maintain their current website.
My attempt to put together a quote compendium. When I find quotes I like I put them here so that I can find them again.
These are some jokes that I've heard and people have sent me.
So far I have jokes in english, spanish, and latin. Interestingly, the spanish section is by far the biggest.
This is the section that I put my favorite public-domain poems and other short writings of other people so that I can easily find them again. At some point this may grow to a hard-to-find-on-the-net respository of poems and such.
One of my favorite literary characters of all time. He's an interesting character in a very well-done fantasy series by Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman.
