I'm Ross Angle. I program, and I particularly like metaprogramming, metafiction, metamathematics, and sometimes even metagames and metalogic. Or maybe it's less of a meta- interest and more of an interdisciplinary one; I'm a fan of fiction that's about fiction, but I also like imagining programs that manage logic or games that simulate fiction. In the end, what I think about are abstract systems, and what I usually produce are programs that express them.

On this site I show off a few of the programming projects I've done. Most of my recent projects are actually at GitHub instead, but hey, these less recent ones are almost as cool as ever. ^_-

For some random musings about projects I haven't done yet, check out my blog.

How can you find me?

You can contact me over email at rokitna?hotmail.???. (Note that Hotmail's a bit of an anomaly; usually I go by the username "rocketnia.")

Primarily you'll find me at the Arc Forum, where I try to be informative here and there, oftentimes persistently pointing out things people may have overlooked (bugs and design flaws), in what I can only hope is perceived as a helpful spirit. ^_^ I also find myself writing a lot of little demos to demonstrate the stuff I'm talking about, so it's a good way to keep my programming fresh and practical.

Aside from that, I occasionally post to the Rules Theory and Templating Magic: the Gathering forum at the Wizards of the Coast community. There, everybody's trying to be critical and helpful. :-p I have some proactive suggestions for the game, but I like thinking about the game no matter what it is now and what it might be changed into, so I typically contribute by coming up with a hypothetical solution others haven't thought of for a problem some other poster has perceived.

The rest of my online activity takes the form of GitHub commits. I do have a Facebook presence I kinda sorta keep up, and then there's the blog and this website, and naturally it goes downhill from there, with plenty of other online accounts that aren't really worth mentioning. ^_^
