## Why "Jeremiah Fieldhaven"?
Essentially, it started off as a bit of silliness. I had been playing [Sunless Sea](https://www.failbettergames.com/games/sunless-sea)
and there was a place on my map not far from Wolfstack Docks called "Fieldhaven's Rest".
At the same time, I decided I wanted to start over in [Elite Dangerous](https://www.elitedangerous.com/)
with a new commander, so I was looking for a name. I decided it would be Very Silly
to have a spaceship commander with a Victorean-era sounding name flying around in
the 3300s world of Elite, so I set about coming up with a suitably ridiculous name.
With "Fieldhaven" in my head as a surname for this commander, I chose a likely
looking forename from a list of 1800s names. And thus [Jeremiah Fieldhaven](https://www.edsm.net/en/user/badges/id/26401/cmdr/Jeremiah+Fieldhaven)
came into existence. I connected with other Elite Dangerous players on Twitter and
Discord with the same name, and the rest is history really.

Finding stuff on the internet in the [Year of Our Lady of Discord](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordian_calendar) 3191 is nigh impossible, so here are
some links to cool people you should check out.
## Buttons
Apparently 88x31 buttons are making a comeback[^1], so here's a few! If you want your button
to appear here, contact me on Mastodon or via email with your URL and button image.
