L'Etat, c'est moi

Hi,

Autistic. Please remember that if we ever have a conversation.

Finally retired after working 51 years. Still not sure what I want to do when I grow up.

Left school at 16, worked various jobs for some years then in IT in various places from 1985 until 2008.

Bought a franchise for a lawn care company in 2009, just after the financial fiasco. Found out that was a bad time to start a business.

Did other things.

I use Arch Linux with Gnome and the Vivaldi Browser

My job? Computer Sisyphus and Meme Historian. I work on cryptography, FIPS, and open source. I like video games, books, and riding my bike. I use Arch, btw.

I work for Chainguard, but I definitely don't speak for them.

Sometimes you just have to sit back, relax, and let the train wreck itself.

Describe myself? Why? Who I believe I am is irrelevant to who you're going to believe me to be.

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books.
What Huxley feared was that there would be no one who wanted to read one.

Oddball, computer nerd, aspiring ecosystem co-creator, I've lead a strange and unlikely life. I dropped out of high school and was homeless for several years. During that time I learned Reiki, and how to operate and program Linux computers. I decided to get a job as a programmer, so I created a project and presented it at CodeCon 2004. That led to a career as a computer programmer. I'm now semi-retired and I've turned my attention to my other passion: gardening and ecology.

I think of myself as an old hillbilly hippie. I've had several careers: Physics, personal counseling, computer science/software development. Unix/Linux.
Now I'm an old retired guy. I read a LOT. I think of myself as a liberal progressive politically. Some people know me as KB6QL.

I love the Grateful Dead. I love Gracie Slick. I also love the work of Johann Sebastian Bach. I have loved their work for more than 50 years. Oxford comma. Born at 310ppm CO2.
Whatever/whatever

I ❤️ Linux
