I am a long time UNIX system administrator and open source advocate. In recent years my primary focus as been on Linux & FreeBSD systems administration, networking, telecom, and SAN/storage management. I love building infrastructure, tying systems together, creating processes, and bringing people together in support of their technical efforts.

When I can, I try to contribute back to the open source projects either with patches, or by helping others in technical support forums.

Thanks, nice write-up. Question, does HTTPie allow sending a JSON request body as part of a GET request? Some tools don't allow that and unfortunately I've found some web APIs that require it.

It's been a while since I did serious java development. I think I was a little disappointed to hear that the inheritance model changed in java 8. Having gotten knotted up in C++ multiple inheritance in the past, I always liked the java single inheritance model and use of interfaces, etc.

It would be great if you could expand on that java multiple inheritance topic a bit ... and more importantly what that language feature really solves that was inconvenient or impossible before.

Thanks!
