|
timber-frame house for his family. He operates a portable band-saw mill,

|
|
David is a Computer Network Consultant specializing in Linux,
|
|
but he begrudgingly works with Windows and those ``real'' Unix
|
|
boxes like DEC 5000s and Suns. When he's not working, he can be found
|
|
hacking his own system or enjoying the view of Seattle from 2,500 feet up
|
|
in an airplane. He welcomes your comments, criticisms, witticisms, and will
|
|
be happy to further obfuscate the issue.

|
|
