I have always been interested in computers, and would find myself hanging out with the Computer Science students instead of the Aviation Management or Business Management students I was a part of. At home and at work I have been largely self-teaching myself using computers starting with Excel and Access with VBA through ASP and SQL at work. Thankfully my current employer values education, and so I have been taking classes and not only learning the technology, but un-learning what I have been doing wrong over the years. At home, though, I have been teaching myself Linux, system administration, networking and the overall method of migrating our system from Windows to Linux. I am involved in the Danbury Area Computer Society (DACS.org) I have the opportunity to take what I've learned the hard way and hopefully help others.. I have been enjoying Open Source for a while now, and I am hoping to get a better understanding of the entire model and application.

They were fun machines.
I remember sitting in front of a VAX VT100 terminal in college and thinking to myself "can I do this for the rest of my life?"
Firefox was one of those first salvos lobbed towards Microsoft that made the slumbering giant start to stir. By the time they "woke up" the world was a very, very different place!
Today I still like Firefox, if for nothing else their adherence to the open web for all!
