Seldom without a computer of some sort since graduating from the University of British Columbia in 1978, I have been a full-time Linux user since 2005, a full-time Solaris and SunOS user from 1986 through 2005, and UNIX System V user before that.
On the technical side of things, I have spent a great deal of my career as a consultant, doing data analysis and visualization; especially spatial data analysis. I have a substantial amount of related programming experience, using C, awk, Java, Python, PostgreSQL, PostGIS and lately Groovy. I'm looking at Julia with great interest. I have also built a few desktop and web-based applications, primarily in Java and lately in Grails with lots of JavaScript on the front end and PostgreSQL as my database of choice.
Aside from that, I spend a considerable amount of time writing proposals, technical reports and - of course - stuff on https://www.opensource.com.

Thanks for the clarification, muffsy.com.
I see on the link you provide that the designs are "for personal, non-profit use only". And I see that this would conflict with point 6 of the Open Source Definition published at https://opensource.org/osd-annotated.
I've ordered the head amp kit and I'm going to do two or three articles on it as I progress with the build. I'll clarify this in the first article!
Thanks for your comment, tatethurston.
I love that use of the braces! I gotta say I spent many years using the c-shell in SunOS and Solaris and that one never occurred to me.
