I have always been interested in computers, and would find myself hanging out with the Computer Science students instead of the Aviation Management or Business Management students I was a part of. At home and at work I have been largely self-teaching myself using computers starting with Excel and Access with VBA through ASP and SQL at work. Thankfully my current employer values education, and so I have been taking classes and not only learning the technology, but un-learning what I have been doing wrong over the years. At home, though, I have been teaching myself Linux, system administration, networking and the overall method of migrating our system from Windows to Linux. I am involved in the Danbury Area Computer Society (DACS.org) I have the opportunity to take what I've learned the hard way and hopefully help others.. I have been enjoying Open Source for a while now, and I am hoping to get a better understanding of the entire model and application.

I've used Google Reader for a while, one part being that since it is web-based if I read or mark some as read while on one computer (e.g. at work), when I go to anther computer those marked read are not shown while those I held off on reading are still listed and ready.
So this is a good list to get me started with an alternative. I think the recommendation is to use <a href="http://theoldreader.com">The Old Reader</a> but they are straining under the heavy load of people switching. There are currently 6922 users ahead of me on the import que.
