Ok, this is me... (The only time (so far) in my life I've worn a tux...)

There used to be a lot of stuff on this page about me, my family, etc... However, with the web getting completely commercialized and "financially lucrative", I've decided to start taking personal information out of public view. Sorry. There is still some stuff on this page though ... 8)

For anyone interested in my professional career: I'm a UNIX Systems (and Network) Administrator (SA). I spent around two years doing SA work at the EDA software company Chrysalis Symbolic Design (now part of Synopsis, Inc (now part of Cadence?)). I then spent almost three years doing a variety of things for Collective Technologies (now part of MTI), in and around the Boston (Massachusetts) area (UNIX/Network Consulting, Software Engineering, Level 1-3 Remote Support, Interview Manager, etc.) I spent a little over three years working as a Senior UNIX/Network Administrator for TechTarget. Now I work as a System Administrator for Google, helping support the internal systems and services.

As a semi-second job, I work on the open-source project SpamAssassin. It started out with me just using it and submitting small bug fixes until it got to the point I was so prolific in my patch writing they decided to just make me an official developer. ;) I'm now on the Project Management Committee and am involved in pretty much all aspects of code development. Phew!

I've been compiling a list of quotes and various comical things since around ~October 1994. There are lots of quotes from different professors at my college (Worcester Polytechnic Institute), and other interesting things. Be warned though, some of the quotes aren't all "clean", so... Just don't say I didn't warn you first. Goto the plan file...

Going along with these random things, here's my geek code for you to read... If you want this converted to actual English, please check out the following URL:
