About

attachment:IconsPage/Icongnomeicu3.png I am an accounting clerk / amateur geek at a small real estate investment firm in Florida.

I have been toying with Ubuntu, my first Linux distro, since mid 2006 and switched over to Kubuntu in early 2007. I have not yet figured everything out, but I am gaining ground quickly after so many years of laziness brought on by the competition. I have recently started the Florida LoCo team (see FloridaTeam), and am incredibly happy with the speed with which it has taken off, having already reached almost 50 members in only three months. I see nothing but good things coming from this team and its members in the future.

I mostly spend my time working on my new kubuntu toys, breaking the system, reinstalling, and all the fun that goes with it. I also try to document what I learn so it might help others at [http://veritastic.net veritas/tic], and researching random tax questions at [http://taxnation.net my tax blog].

Goals

attachment:IconsPage/IconCalendarOpen.png I find that the best way to make sure I follow my goals is to list them, add to them, edit them, worry about them, ad nauseum, until I complete them all in a sad, twisted competition with myself. Strangely enough, by listing and following these goals I may actually complete one of them, becoming a member.
