I go by hecate (cantus, when a last name or disambiguator is necessary)! I am a creature residing in the pacific northwest, and am a general computer witch of a few varieties:

• maintained & extended i3lock-color once upon a time
• game reverse engineering & modding when it striks me
• a lot of network engineering and general sysadmin fuckery
• and I also love complex distributed systems programming :)

when I'm infrequently away from my computer, I am probably baking, bothering my cats, or suffering a migraine.

the 'cantus' bit comes from The World Ends With You; boss Noise are given the title Cantus, as they're very intentionally structured Noise. I highly recommend playing the original on a DS :3

I can be contacted via email by the hecate.space domain, at the address 'sys' :)

games I am currently playing, in no particular order:

• deadlock
• mycopunk
• sulfur
• straftat
• darktide
• hades 2 :)
