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 let it be known, tastefully, that I run Linux at home.
Unfortunately I don't have a choice of OS and software at work in part because my primary responsibilities are Microsoft technologies (ASP.NET, MS SQL Server).
In turn, because of my known Linux experience at home I am taking over handling our public PHP web sites which are running a mix of Drupal and custom PHP on a FreeBSD web server.
Aww.. can only choose 1. All of them look like cool gifts.
