Posting habits: ~60% #Monsterdon, ~20% #Python/#tech, ~20% funny/uplifting/entertaining content. Rare politics-related posts, always using popular hashtags so they can be filtered out. I typically don't boost posts with images unless they have #AltText.

Dr. Jim Ellsworth
@[email protected]I'm a retired, General Officer level U.S. Army Intelligence leader who's been in INFOSEC since the 1980s, when it was mostly mainframes & Novell. Certifications came after, when I was off leading in the PSYOP / counternarrative side of IO, so I don't have any & cannot claim to be any sort of technical expert--but I can still (in sha' Allah) talk intelligently with folks who ARE technical experts & help connect such discourse to strategic outcomes.
I'm also coming onboard as Associate Director of an academic Global & National Security Policy Institute, a Twitter refugee sold on the fediverse as the most resilient architecture to avoid getting co-opted by billionaires or governments, an observant Muslim & aspiring alim, and a senior EDUCATIONAL Technology scholar.
As I said in my old Twitter bio, "Yep--weird." :-D

@[email protected]I make things, I fix things, and quite often break things. A Silicon Valley refugee having lived in the Pacific North West, recently returned to my home, #SantaCruz after too long away.
Three decades in the world of computers and most of it developing the Internet (largely as a Web Thing, but not really).
