  0. How (that is, by whom) did you join Red Bean, and approximately
     when?  Who in Red Bean knows you in real life, so we could ask
     them if you suddenly appear to disappear?


jimb introduced me to red-bean, maybe 1996 or 1997, give or take a year.

Thomas Bushnell is probably the only red-beanite I see in real life much.

Noel Cragg was technically my cow orker when I worked for the FSF, but
that's largely irrelavent in that we worked for the FSF in different
states, and have never met in person.

joelh and I have never met in real life, but he and I tend to stay in
close contact.

  1. Do you use Red Bean as your primary email address and/or primary
     Web server (i.e., is your home page here)?

At the present, I use red-bean as my primary publicly advertised
personal email address.  (Yes, that is a mouthful.)  I also use
red-bean as my primary webspace; mostly this is because I don't want
people downloading the photos of me over my ISDN link.

  2. Do you know anything about Unix system administration?
     Programming?  Tell everything about you and computers... :-)

A good way to piss of a Unix system administrator is to do rm -rf /
Someone said something about needing to be `root' or something like
that.

Well, I've heard that there's this thing called `java'.  Does that count?

My computers are are xanthine (a 486 with an 11GB hard disk, 20 MB
RAM, and two ethernet interfaces, which currently is attahced to a
14.4), nautilus (a Compaq that lacks a reset button; its root
filesystem is corrupt, and its /home disk is dead), barb (which
currently has MSDOG installed, although it might get replaced with
NetBSD RSN), and sourcerer-apprentice (a sparcstation).

I was going to copy all of the raw bytes of all of my hard disks into
this message to give you more information about my computers, but I
don't think you want that.

  3. Anything else about yourself you'd like made known?  Put it here,
     anything goes.


I am unhappily single.

  4. Optional information: what's your snail address and phone, in
     case something goes down and we need to reach you that way?
     (This information will not be published on the Web unless you
     specifically grant permission.)


See ~/text/coordinates, which will probably eventually get updated
after I move, whenever I get around to moving, whereas if I told you
now, we'd never remember to update it.

  5. Do you play bagpipes?

Nope.
