tofumatt

I traveled around Eastern Canada and USA! Oh, then I came home, worked for a few days and got really sick. So I'm recovering. And can't really talk. But I'm focusing on Mozillians (Vagrant/Puppet and front-end stuff).

I'm not actually a Harry Potter fan; that basically makes me He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
