Erik O'Shaughnessy is an opinionated but friendly UNIX system programmer living the good life in Texas. Over the last twenty years (or more!) he has worked for IBM, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, and most recently Intel doing computer system performance related work. He is; a mechanical keyboard aficionado, a gamer, a father, a husband, voracious reader, student of Okinawian karate, and seriously grouchy in the morning before coffee.
