- Computer Mage: Master of C++ and Java, Creator of instances, Sunderer of Spaghetti-code, Tender of the Class Trees, Keeper of the Holy Algorithms, and Wielder of the sacred heuristics. Also, Keeper of Servers and Rampant Wordsmith.
- I operate six personal wiki's that use the MediaWiki code on Windows IIS (Win2KAS).
Yes, "The Slamlander" is an online branded identity that has no connection to my real ID. There is a serious reason for this. Being Net.Famous sucks, it brings out all the wormridden nut-jobs. I don't want anything I do on the Internet, coming back to haunt my real life, as has happened a few times before.
- There are some out there that think I'm an asshole. I have no problem with that. But that is simply because we don't share ideologies and I don't suffer idiots that think that we should all have the same ideologies. If you let me be me then I'll have no problem letting you be you.
- I am definitely a rebel and an iconoclast. In other words, I like to tip sacred cows.
- Born in the fifties, in Europe, and raised in the sixties, in California, I am certain that that my views are unique. I do not require that anyone share my views, only that they respect mine, as my own. Do not try to convert me to your ideologies, after fiftyone years on this planet I have developed some rather good defenses. You are warned.
- I have been a Biker (Once a biker, always a biker) and have owned both Hogs and Rice Burners. I've obviously survived both.
- I am a guitarist. I have been for over 40 years (Blues, R&R, and Jazz).
- I am a published writer.
- I am a Commercial Systems and Applications Architect.
- I am a Technical Manager.
- I have been a Managing Director of a Silicon Valley firm for seven years. The firm was put to rest in Mar03.
- I was involved with developing the ICANN
- I have been involved with computer development since 1977. Yes, I am old, any other such equally brilliant observations can be filed in /dev/nul ;P
After reading this, should you chose to have nothing more to do with me, that's okay too. If you think that all of the above is either self-agrandisement or just plain false then brother; rest soundly in your delusion but don't be too bothered by being dead wrong. If this page intimidates you then grow a backbone and deal.
