A somewhat-picky 30-something UNIX systems and network administrator living in Silicon Valley. I also happen to work at Tellme Networks (now a Microsoft subsidiary, ooh-ahh, zZzzzzZz…), in case that holds any weight…
I have a tendency to be pretty thorough when it comes to the information I provide, and I’m almost always technical — that is to say, you won’t find me involving myself with politics or “managerial” schmooze-ish stuff; only the facts here, man. Real problems, real solutions, with verbose explanations.
If you hoped for something more personal, here you go: I’m “somewhat” single, I don’t drive a car (by choice; I bike (as in bicycle)), I absolutely love Nintendo/Famicom, I studied Mandarin Chinese for 5 years and presently study Korean, I’m American but spell British most of the time, I’m fairly introverted, I love a good chicken yakisoba, most of my friends aren’t in California or even the United States, I’m honest 99.9% of the time and will always speak my mind, I don’t vote (by choice), I curse like a drunken sailor, I’m addicted to Game Center CX, I don’t believe in material gain/wealth, I want to strangle people who write “loose” when they mean “lose”, and I hope that one day something I’ll say will impact someone in such a positive manner that they’ll show up at my doorstep 20 years later just to thank me.
Hey, you asked! ;)
If you want to drop me an Email, feel free to: jdc@parodius.com should do the trick.
I also have my personal home page, which is many respects is less personal than my blog, but gives some insight into the person I am.
