Welcome to my blog. I am Daniel Perelman; I am presently a computer science graduate student at the University of Washington.

Much of my time is spent writing programs and using various highly-configurable tools like Bash, Vim, and LaTeX. I, like many other users of these tools, find myself often performing web searches for help on how to use these tools. Thanks to StackExchange and myriad technical blogs, the answers I am looking for are often close at hand. But not always. Sometimes I end up piecing together a solution from many sources. This blog is a place for me to save others time by sharing that knowledge.
