+ <h1>About Me</h1>
+ <p>
+ Hi, I'm Jacob. I'm a current undergraduate computer science student at the
+ University of Manitoba and infrastructure developer at the National
+ Microbiology Lab. I'm planning on continuing on to do a master's degree at
+ the U of M as well.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ My big interests outside of computers these days are tea and fountain
+ pens. I also am really into literature, but haven't been able to find the
+ time to read all that much as of late.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In terms of computers, the hardware I'm most interested in is older video
+ game consoles (which I want to eventually start some projects with) and
+ microcontrollers. I like being able to fully understand how the hardware
+ works which becomes a challenge for more complicated devices.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In a similar vein, I like being able to understand the software that I use
+ which is why I like using free (as in freedom) software. Emacs is my text
+ editor of choice although I also use (neo)vim on remote machines (and at
+ work due to some incompatibilities with the available version of Emacs and
+ my configuration). My language of choice for personal projects is C. I
+ enjoy the limited number of keywords in the language as it allows me to
+ keep the full language inside of my head and allow me to focus on writing
+ the algorithms, although Python is nice for rapid prototyping. Go is a
+ nice middle-ground that I choose sometimes when I want faster code than
+ Python or a stronger typing system. Another language that I enjoy is Rust,
+ although I don't find myself writing it very often.
+ </p>
