Heather got started in computing before she quite got started learning
|
|
English. By 8 she was a happy programmer, by 15 the system administrator
|
|
for the home... Dad had finally broken down and gotten one of those personal
|
|
computers, only to find it needed regular care and feeding like any other
|
|
pet. Except it wasn't a Pet: it was one of those brands we find most
|
|
everywhere today...
|
|
|
|
<P> Heather is a hardware agnostic, but has spent more hours as a tech in
|
|
Windows related tech support than most people have spent with their computers.
|
|
(Got the pin, got the Jacket, got about a zillion T-shirts.) When she
|
|
discovered Linux in 1993, it wasn't long before the home systems ran Linux
|
|
regardless of what was in use at work.
|
|
|
|
<P> By 1995 she was training others in using Linux - and in charge of all the
|
|
"strange systems" at a (then) 90 million dollar company. Moving onwards, it's
|
|
safe to say, Linux has been an excellent companion and breadwinner... She
|
|
took over the HTML editing for "The Answer Guy" in issue 28, and has been
|
|
slowly improving the preprocessing scripts she uses ever since.
|
|
|
|
<P> Here's an autobiographical filksong she wrote called
