“coi” means hello and “.ui” means happy in Lojban, a language I use occasionally in my writing and just as infrequently while I’m chatting.

… large repository of useless knowledge…

I’m D. Moonfire. I’m a writer by hobby, profession, and simple joy. I write stories, novels, and the occasional role-playing game. I also program both professionally and as a hobby in a wide variety of languages. My day job consists of writing tax software, which can be interesting in its own way. In many ways, I’m a jack-of-trades, I know a little bit about a lot of things and can fake a lot more than I was actually trained to do. There are also a few things I’m very good at, but that is also the nature of being a jack-of-trades.

Blog

There is a lot in my life. I don’t have a neat, specialized little place in the world and it shows in my blog.
