About Me
I am the Point of Contact & Leader for Ubuntu Ohio as from April 7, 2013. Due to rather harsh terms of employment, a Delegation of Authority allows for three deputies to act in my stead during any prolonged absences. I am currently not absent from the role of Point of Contact due to a furlough at work but that can always change.
I served previously as the Head Writer at Erie Looking Productions and present The Burning Circle, the podcast of Ubuntu Ohio. The podcast had over one hundred episodes since launch. Outside the Ubuntu realm I presented for six years starting in December 2007 LISTen: An LISNews.org Podcast which dealt with more general issues in the realm of library and information science. Due to the harsh terms of employment I am currently operating under, both podcasts are halted.
I now have a general purpose AMD64-based laptop which utilizes Xubuntu 14.04. My BeagleBoard-xM functions as a general purpose desktop running Debian Testing on armhf except that it lacks functioning audio capability. There is a Raspberry Pi serving as a general purpose server except that I have yet to figure out why it will not handle a ZNC bouncer correctly. There is a hand-me-down desktop that previously was in use running VectorLinux Light 7.0 that requires review for potential re-use.
An Arudino was purchased by a benefactor. I want to build an NTP receiver for WWV/WWVH signals with it perhaps. Some other project may come to mind, too. With the Ethernet shield on-hand, I have my suspicions that Contiki will be in the mix soon. Using it alongside a Raspberry Pi as part of a home-built mobile device may become necessary in light of current developments.
Materiel donations via this configured Amazon wishlist are graciously accepted in this time of cutbacks and continuing equipment failures. Anything received is gratefully appreciated with a cheerful heart in uncertain economic times.
I have been an Ubuntu Member since March 15, 2012.
