Nathaniel R. Reindl
I am a cofounder of LEA Interactive, a company that focuses on
tools to make hackers suck less at what they do. Down with
expensive 1970's era debuggers! The days of TECO and DDT a
million and one disjoint, marginally useful tools are over!
I am an independent contractor working in the domain of reverse
engineering and systems integration with a little bit of games
development on the side. My rates and terms are reasonable, so if
you have a project that you think I might find interesting, don't
hesitate to contact me.
I'm a self-proclaimed failure, and I'm rather proud of that
fact. I believe I've learned more by failing than I would have
ever learned by succeeding. I'm apparently in
good company (offsite link to fadedgiant.net)
according to to some historical sources.
About me
- Contact information (if
you're one of a select few people with whom I potentially
desire to share no words, namely individuals associated with
my father and his family)
- Contact information (for
everyone else)
What am I doing?
- Distracting myself from
my parents'
seemingly-never-to-finalize-even-after-four-years
divorce
- I bought a black MacBook (model MA472LL/A) off a friend, and
I've been living with that ever since. Windows is nice, but I
just can't get any work done with it.
Living with the HP
Pavilion tx2500 and Windows Vista x64 with SUA. This has been
an adventure an utter pain in my ass and an
expensive distraction.
- I would eventually like to implement a halfway
decent package manager for SUA, perhaps based off of
dpkg and apt, but that would almost imply that I'm
trying to port Debian to SUA...
- I want to get rid of as much reliance on GNU's
toolchain as is possible. It rides the compiler
toolchain shortbus.
- I don't live in St. Louis anymore, so this is largely
irrelevant to me now, but the extra linkage is probably useful
to someone else.
Wishing the St. Louis area had better
public transit infrastructure and better concern for pedestrian-
and bicycle-friendly urban planning (i.e., I don't like driving
my car to the grocery two miles away just to pick up a gallon of
milk)
Participating in the North American demoscene
- CELLULOL by Orchestra Hit (4th at Blockparty 2009,
Java/MIDP on a Nokia 5310, party version written 100% at the
partyplace, final version to follow Real Soon Now™)
— Thanks to the Northern Dragons, Necros, and
Gargaj/CNS for an awesome competition. You guys are the
best.
- Organizing the Nurupo "NullPointerException"
demoparty for MAGFest
8 between 31 Dec 2009 and 4 January 2010 in Alexandria,
Virginia, USA. We'll have streaming music, oldschool music,
and wild as far as competitions go with maybe others (e.g.,
freestyle graphics) as interest gathers. Invitation
(hopefully) to be released
at Assembly summer
2009.
Writing a small essay on the mathematics of FM synthesis
