=Hi!=
I am just your not-so-average curmudgeon of the compuverse. I started noodling with computers twenty years ago with an Apple IIe in elementary school. Today, I still use an Apple machine, but I have many more machines which are running freely available operating systems, and software in my evil genius lab located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, USA.

I am just your not-so-average curmudgeon of the compuverse. I started noodling with computers twenty years ago with an Apple IIe in elementary school. Today, I still use an Apple machine, but I have many more machines which are running freely available operating systems, and software at my evil genius lab located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, USA.

Using Ubuntu for a while on a desktop, and now more intensively on an IBM ThinkPad has convinced me to begin repaying my debts of kindness to the free, and open source software communities. To that end, I am now trying to work at providing some of my professional capacity as a Technical Writer to the Ubuntu Documentation Team! So far, I seem to be doing well enough, and the folks who make up he DocTeam, are like any of those associated with Ubuntu-- wonderful fellow Human beings! Cheers to the kind people of Ubuntu for giving me the inspiration to help out!

If you've survived this long-winded passage so far, there is more detail on how I am contributing below. Thanks for checking out my page, and if I can help you in any way, feel free to contact me using any of the means hilighted at the top of the page.

=== My Contributions to Ubuntu ===

So far, I have just been contributing slight edits, though I've recently took on a whole section of the ServerGuide. Below are the representative patches:
