About Me
I am the Head Writer at Erie Looking Productions and present The Burning Circle, the podcast of the Ohio LoCo Team. The podcast now has over sixty episodes and has been active for over a calendar year. Outside the Ubuntu realm I have presented since December 2007 LISTen: An LISNews.org Podcast which deals with more general issues in the realm of library and information science.
I bricked a SheevaPlug and repurposed my BeagleBoard-xM to bridge the gap fulfilling desktop and server roles. My my old-timey Nokia smartphone is dead and an old flip phone is being utilized with my e-mail being bounced on occasion to the phone via the magic of an MMS gateway. The hand-me-down desktop that previously was in use running VectorLinux Light 7.0 has been put into storage due to power budget issues involving a month-on-month tripling of kilowatt-hour usage. No, I cannot really say I have a ton of consistently working equipment at the moment.
Right now my netbook serves up what it can and travels with me. The BeagleBoard-xM is functioning as a desktop with some server functions. There is a Raspberry Pi that initially served as a general purpose server but has been redirected to running MediaTomb as part of an in-home project.

I have been an Ubuntu Member since March 15, 2012.
