I'm a long-time user of free/open source software, and write various things for both fun and profit. I don't take myself all that seriously and I do all of my own stunts.
You can find me at these fine establishments on the web: Open Source Musings, The Monday Kickoff, Weekly Musings. and The Plain Text Project.

Newsboat is a fork of Newsbeuter. Which I thought that Kevin Sonney mentioned in his original article, but it turns out that he didn't.
