I am the Head Writer at [[http://erielookingproductions.info|Erie Looking Productions]] and present ''[[http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org/burningcircle|The Burning Circle]]'', the podcast of the [[OhioTeam|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 ''[[http://www.lisnews.org/podcast|LISTen: An LISNews.org Podcast]]'' which deals with more general issues in the realm of library and information science. | |

I deal with preserving older technology in operational status lately and previously used a PowerPC running Lucid Lynx. I utilize a kirkwood-based [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheevaPlug|SheevaPlug]] for back-end operations at home where tasks are either repetitive or are not necessarily interactive. As Ubuntu does not support the kirkwood variant of ARM I end up gaining proficiency with [[http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/|Debian]] using Squeeze on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheevaPlug|SheevaPlug]]. My principal desktop computer was a [[http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/texas-instruments-beagleboard/685|BeagleBoard-xM]] that was running the armel release of Oneiric Ocelot but currently I use an x86 box running Precise Pangolin. | I am called many things.

Tiered service levels is how I describe my view of computing at home. My operations are split among [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_e71x|my smartphone]], the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheevaPlug|SheevaPlug]], my netbook running Xubuntu, and the desktop that was based on the [[http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/texas-instruments-beagleboard/685|BeagleBoard]] and none uses an x86 board instead. No one device alone covers all that I want to do. In keeping a presence in differing processor platforms I can help serve my community by providing a knowledge base of experience. | ''Amateur Radio Operator (General Class). Lapsed Podcaster.

Wishful Thinking: Matters I Wish To Undertake
In many respects the coronavirus crisis has effectively derailed most planning that I have had. For several months earlier in 2020 planning became so short-term that I could not plan beyond the next daily press conference by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. Original plans for this part of 2020 would have had me in a far different place than I am right now.
These were not the adventures I expected. I do not know what awaits. I'm not sure what I want to do as I have spent too much of this year reacting instead of acting. Spending six years in a job where I had to self-redact and mute myself daily did not help me either.
