This is sort of a placeholder, but it'll hopefully point you where you need to get.

My name is Jeremy Nickurak. I'm a Computing Science graduate student at the University of Alberta. I'm working with Paul Lu's Trellis High-performance and meta computing research group. My chief areas of interest in the group are filesystem and resource access in a distributed/cluster context.

I have a blog and and a facebook, although they're generally not all that updated, unless you're authorized to access them. (They contain many updates to my ongoing research interests and projects)

I've created a set of tileable backgrounds, that are simple and (to me) fairly interesting to look at, without being overly distracting. They're useful as a desktop background or as a web page background, and are available for public domain use.

If you're interested in getting in touch with me, you can email me at my-first-name@my-last-name.ca (That's a little obfuscated to prevent spam bots from seeing it... although I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out). You can also reach me at the same address on Jabber/XMPP/GoogleChat

You can also reach me by voice. Look up a local PSTN phone number at http://www.sipbroker.com/sipbroker/action/pstnNumbers, dial it, and then dial *559-1-780-702-7112 (or just dial that number without the *559 if you feel like it...
