About Me:
I was raised in Upsate NY, worked in many industries from
Bearing Grinder, Retail Manager to Computer Technician.
Computers went from being an expensive hobby to a career move.
I am an avid Linux user but I do love Windows as it keeps me
employed. I use OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Android and #!(Crunch Bang).
I love reading, mostly mysteries and spy novels. I love
reading the works of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler
and Mickey Spilane. "I've
been
as
bad
an influence on American literature as anyone I can think
of." -
Dashiell Hammett
I like tinkering with electronics as my dad got me in to
fixing old radios and soldering together electonics projects.
That tinkering naturally led to working on and building
computers.
I listen to Classic Rock, Classical and Jazz, Trance/Techno,
Tech Podcasts and Audio Books.
I watch the classic old Black and White movies and ancient TV
shows like The Rockford Files. I do love my Brit Mysteries
like Blood In The Wire and Midsomer Murders.
