I'm a UNIX system administrator by trade. Until a couple of months ago I worked in the Computer Science department at Trinity College Dublin , which was a lovely place to work. Right now I'm between engagements, having decided to return to the UK to be closer to friends and family. I guess you could probably say that I'm a geek. Other geeks interested in knowing what kind of a geek I am should read this section.

My preferred environment is UNIX, or one of those other operating systems which aren't officially UNIX but are, well, just about as near as makes no odds. It's a nice industrial-strength production OS, albeit slightly baroque in some ways. NetBSD is currently also my favourite OS for PC hardware, although I've dipped my toes into the other two main BSD variants, FreeBSD and OpenBSD to a pretty extensive degree as well. They're all fast, solid and reliable. And damn right I run Linux too.
