One more author one might try: Lucy A. Snyder. Sparks and Shadows is the short story collection that I've read. Installing Linux On A Dead Badger I haven't, though I have read an earlier version (http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml) of the title work, and enjoyed it (I realise the high likelihood that you or someone in your household has already come across it. This is more in the way of a contextual reminder.). As a writer, she's quite stylistically flexible, so it's difficult to categorically recommend or dis-recommend her with that metric. When you're back to not having to fight for computer time, Look What I Found In My Brain, a website she shares with a number of other authors, has a variety of articles and short fiction pieces, many of which are pretty good. Unfortunately, the navigational setup of the page isn't great if you're looking for something in particular, so I'd not recommend it at the moment. Also for later, a number of her pieces can be found on Strange Horizons.
I will leave you with a quote though "Engels does not claim to have the only sledgehammer-based workout around; workouts based on Thor's hammers and Indian clubs have been around for a long, long time. This is the same basic concept, just a little more DIY and with more imaginary orcs."
