About Myself

edit

Just a computer guy who's primarily focused on UNIX-based Operating Systems and hardware. This page is a first attempt at putting together a Wikipedia document, and in no way is intended to break the rules, or spam. I am listing my technical strong points here in hopes of finding like-minded individuals that can point me to the gaps (if any) in Wikipedia's immense coverage of the things I have a passion for.
