About Andan
In the wild, Andan is tallish, darkish, and probably smells of elderberry.
The “wild” in this case, is the very pleasant climate and truly horrific traffic of the San Francisco Bay Area - where he lives with some family and some pets - though he arrived there at the end of the 1990’s after doing a stint of college in Albuqueurque, NM, as an adventure away from Wyoming, where he’s from.
A poor talent he possesses is to be “instantly mediocre” at a lot of things, most of which he won’t go to the effort to master. These have included skiing, blacksmithing, martial arts, archery, systems administration, gaming, a smattering of programming languages starting with Logo, art, and the one he just can’t quit, writing.
He’s spent a career in IT as part of a lifetime of tinkering with things and managing to make something of it. Usually.

About post edits
I do minor typo fixing and grammar and word selection changes for readability changes regularly. I often note that with an “[Edited #datestamp]” note at the top, but don’t call out the specifics of the change. If I make a substantial change that diverges from the original intent I will call it out.
