I once worked with goats. I moved into tech.This was a mistake.
Expect sheep, wool, and textile history. Also birbs. Infosec on occasion.
I use content warnings for topics and images that can trigger PTSD. I do not use them to shield people ***without*** trauma from experiencing racism, sexism, transphobia, and other forms of discrimination. If you can ignore politics, you’re not likely in need of content warnings for much of anything, really.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... PC Revolutions, C compilers clacking huge Floppy Disks , Lisp Machine Nirvana, Unix Wars, building an early ISP, Metro Wireless, #Startups that went down, Hardware Image Processing, Objective C training from Brad Cox, first C++ Conference, unreadable Perl, lots of Python, Ruby, #Clojure and now back to #Python, #DevOps, #AWSCommunityBuilder, #Serverless, #Sourdough Software System and Cloud Architectures. Not time to die!

I post about Linux, free and open-source software (FOSS), music, cats, politics, writing, and anything else that comes to mind. Hates gen-AI slop.

I write about a lot of things, including VFX, and how managers can build healthy teams. But since retiring I'm more likely to post about drawing, baking, biking, rock climbing, photography, animation, #doctorWho, and whatever SF/fantasy or science books I happen to be reading at the moment.
