Outside computing I am an Amateur Radio operator. When it comes to speaking languages other than English, I may be best considered a lapsed French speaker as my fluency is not what it once was. I am an avid Science Fiction reader who enjoys works published by Baen. I also advocate the revival in use of UUCP & Fido``Net. Occasionally one could consider me a "writer".

I served previously as the Head Writer at [[http://erielookingproductions.info|Erie Looking Productions]] and presented ''[[https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3A%22opensource_audio%22%20AND%20%28subject%3A%22burning%20circle%22%20AND%20subject%3A%22podcast%22%29|The Burning Circle]]'', the podcast of [[OhioTeam|Ubuntu Ohio]]. The podcast had over one hundred episodes during its run though not all are archived. Outside the Ubuntu realm I presented for six years starting in December 2007 ''[[https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3A%22opensource_audio%22%20AND%20%28subject%3A%22lisnews%22%20AND%20subject%3A%22podcast%22%29|LISTen: An LISNews.org Podcast]]'' which dealt with more general issues in the realm of library and information science. '''Both podcasts were rather abruptly terminated as of December 16, 2013.'''

I now have a general purpose AMD64-based laptop which utilizes [[Xubuntu]] 15.04. My Beagle``Board-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 requires review for potential re-use. As part of '''''systems consolidation''''', evaluation as to retention and stripping for parts may occur.

An Arudino was purchased by a benefactor. I want to build an NTP receiver for [[http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/grp40/wwv.cfm|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 [[http://contiki-os.org/|Contiki]] will be in the mix soon. Potential usage is subject to review.

Materiel donations via [[http://amzn.com/w/35SWMCWPMXDJE|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 [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership|an Ubuntu Member]] since March 15, 2012.
I am called many things. Lately people call me "professor" as I seem to wind up in classrooms teaching about computer and information systems. You’ll need to make your own decision as to what/who I am.
