About me
I'm a grey-haired old fart who plays with computers. Before I retired, IBM paid me to do the same, while giving me the grey hair for free.

I created my first program using an 029 card punch to create input in Fortran IV for an IBM 1130 computer. I still have an object deck for my PL/I(F) program to print a calendar (millenium-bug free, of course). That dates me.

Interests

 * Jaguar car enthusiast
 * Owner of several Raspberry Pi's
 * ...and Gentoo Linux, also Arch.

I don't work on any projects, just lurk on the forums.
