Computer History

I was introduced to the Apple // in elementary school, bought an Apple //c in high school, and ran a BBS (Bulletin Board System) using software named Pseudodel, a port of the IBM Citadel BBS software. I got onto the French Minitel network and was an early Gopher user (it was invented at the University of Minnesota when I was a student there). I also wrote probably one of the earliest web pages in Minnesota, using a highly unstable Windows 3.1, winsock.dll and the NCSA Mosaic browser.

Since the mid-90's I've built all of my own computers and have been a technologist with the State of Minnesota and the University of Minnesota. I'm currently a LAMP programmer for the University of Minnesota Libraries, Digital Library Development Lab. I installed Ubuntu on my newest development box.

Non-computer Interests

* Camping I've taken several roadtrips from my home base here in the American midwest to the Rockies, the 4-corners area, the Canadian Atlantic maritimes, New England, etc. Many national parks, state parks, and historic sites.

* Folk music Celtic, jazz, fusion, etc.

* Organic food I've been a vegetarian since about 1995, shop at co-ops, farmer's markets, and do a little of my own gardening.

* Progressive politics I'm basically a green communitarian anarcho-syndicalist or something like that. I don't care much for large organizations, whether public or private.
