This is a personal website. Chrisonomicon means "Book of the Names of Chris" and although influenced by the title of the H.P. Lovecraft-inspired Necronomicon ? as well as Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon ? that's as far as the correlation goes. I wrote everything on this site, except where noted. This site is generated dynamically using a few PHP scripts I threw together, a MySQL database, a toaster oven, a ball-point pen, and a few pieces of chewing gum. For a cheap, reliable web host check out my hosting provider, PHP Web Hosting.

My name is Chris; age twenty-four years; living in Colorado; born 8 December 1978, Hahn, Germany; gay; graduate student in Business Admin; graduated from the University of Colorado in 2001 with a B.S. in Computer Science; 6'3", 195 lbs., brown hair and eyes. That's a picture of me in the upper righthand corner and to the left. I've also recorded my voice and written 100 things about myself.

The lifetime diaries of the French writer H.F. Amiel, for example, trace a path from guilt and self-condemnation to a growing maturity and happiness. In his later years Amiel attested to the journal's cathartic and curative powers: "The chief utility of the journal intime is to restore the integrity of the mind and the equilibrium of the conscience, that is, inner health."

Weblogs, typically, are personal Web sites operated by individuals who compile chronological lists of links to stuff that interests them, interspersed with information, editorializing and personal asides. A good weblog is updated often, in a kind of real-time improvisation, with pointers to interesting events, pages, stories and happenings elsewhere on the Web. New stuff piles on top of the page; older stuff sinks to the bottom.
