...making Linux just a little more fun!
In 1990, after about a decade of processing seismic data (first as a
computer operator, then as geophysical technician), I sat down to my first
personal computer and started teaching myself how to program in C. After a
couple of months at it, I decided it would make a fairly challenging and
esthetically pleasing career, so I signed up for a programming course. I
graduated with an A average.
Since then, work has taken me from Grande Prairie, Alberta to Khartoum,
Sudan. I've worked with SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
I've worked with many different distributions of Linux (SLS, Slackware,
Debian (twice), Redhat, and SuSE). I generally program in Perl. I
specialize in generic Unix.
