things people have said about me

it's scary how much you know.
you're the first person i've met that keeps a spreadsheet of their lightbulbs.
VERY MUCH not garbage [...] a worthwhile human
honestly, i trust your judgement more than i trust my own.

things i am interested in

i am consumed by a desire for learning.

i am particularly interested in the Web. not just the World Wide Web, but also the Semantic Web, Linked Data Web, Social Web, and all that jazz.

communication. protocols, paradigms, and how to map between them -- publishing, subscribing, discussing, messaging. how to negotiate mutually agreed upon terms.

identifiers, particularly how to deal with root authority and delegation. resolving those identifiers in a decentralized and persistent way is something i'm especially interested in.

look, i'm gonna level with ya. i need money to live. most of the stuff i do is what you might consider "socially useful" but also "generally unprofitable". given our capitalist society, my "value" is judged by the latter criteria rather than the former.

donate directly

here's how this one works: you can just give me money. i'll keep doing the stuff i do. this option is good if you already think the stuff i do is cool and worthwhile and valuable without me needing to convince you.

you can donate via stripe through that handy web form.
you can back me on liberapay.com/trwnh via bank, card, stripe or paypal. liberapay is a bit weird with how it processes payments, but you generally have an option to do "automatic renewal" or "manual renewal". you can do manual renewal and then cancel the subscription if you want to do a one-time payment.
you can also donate via paypal: tarawneh.abdullah@gmail.com if you prefer paypal for some reason. i'm not sure if that paypal.me link charges extra fees, so you might need to do it manually, and if so, make sure to select "friends and family" instead of "business".

hire me to do something for you

i can explain things and i can do websites. generally, i'm really really really good at thinking things through and analyzing them exhaustively. see my prosona's "work" landing page for now. most notably check out the page on the mastodon documentation revamp i did.

buy something from amazon and tell em i sent ya

can't say this is something i recommend doing, EXCEPT IF you were already going to buy something from amazon. the more expensive the better, since it's percentage-based. but don't go buying things using this referral link just because of me, y'hear?

https://amzn.to/2rydvvC

my pitch is basically this: if you can't avoid amazon and you're going to buy something from them regardless, then at least use my link so that they pay me a bit of the revenue and so that it slightly reduces their profits.
