About
  • UNIX, because I majored in cryptology
  • Experience is the sum of all failures
  • Simplest answer, regardless how inelegant, is the best

  • Question authority, but respect it where it is due

  • I am an EE with Bachelors and Masters degrees but in IT field by choice for the last 25 or so years.

  • HP/UX was my first love but nowadays it is Linux, more than anything else.
  • I love snow skiing, the alpine style
  • I will eventually end up doing something with pets, let it be a no-kill shelter, or a care facility or a combination of both. I love animals more than most of the people I know.
