A blend of open source software designer, a Debian-nerd, a tinker, and a fiction + nonfiction writer. I have many interests and insufficient time to explore all of them. (Assuming immortality and the eventual heat death of the Universe). The most enjoyable jobs I`ve worked always involve trying to develop something no one else has ever tried to do, or automating a collection of new and legacy hardware to automate a task that no-one has ever tried to automate before. I love challenges, problem solving, writing, art, music, Discworld, and studying Japanese, Korean, Chinese and European languages and history. ©
