Well, I was born on a normal day in July, 1981 and have been creating chaos ever since. Born in North Carolina, but raised in the aftermath of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan, I have been messing around with computers nearly my entire life. I wrote my first program in assembly when I was 11. In my early teens I ran a BBS connected to Fidonet and started building a website for my band. In 1999 I was introduced to Linux, and it was love at first compile. I started my career in IT in the early 2000's doing IT for a Car Dealership in Charlotte NC. I wrote my first major web app in Cold Fusion (an ecom app) at that time. In 2006 I left Charlotte and moved down to Columbia where starting working as a developer, freelancer and consultant. Currently I am working as a freelance developer and DevOps consultant!!


Finally Made it to 17

I usually like to on the cutting edge of my Linux, so it’s kind of a shocker that I just now installed Fedora 17 on my laptop. I intended t o do it much sooner, but important projects kept getting in the way. I finally did a preupgrade and tried to update my live system….but ended up crashing it anyway. I did a reinstall and it was for the better. I had a somewhat precarious partitioning scheme in place and I had recently upgrqaded my ram to the max 8 gigs for my machine…so some re-partitioning was certainly in order.\n I must say that I am impressed again with the latest Fedora offering. Now I can’t wait for 18!!
