Hack on

This is the home server of Nick Black aka Nick tfm Black aka dankamongmen aka the dankest aka Admiral Diggities, located at 33°77′N, 84°38′W in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, GA. This wiki is primarily for my personal use, but open to public viewing in case anything should prove useful. I make no guarantees concerning correctness, relevance, or timeliness of the information contained herein. I've started this project only recently (February 2008), and while it is growing quickly, most articles are by necessity stub links. If you are stalking me, you'd do better consulting my blog at LiveJournal, or my MySpace / Facebook. Sometimes I edit Wikipedia articles, as well, and I love to review books on GoodReads.
