Aloha, and thank you for visiting my FreekiWiki space

dzs' FG information

I have been lurking about the FG virtual space for a couple months now, ever since I saw a writeup on SlashDot about this REALLY cool project. After reading everything I could about the goings on, I finally managed to schedule some spare time to visit after the recent waterfront blues festival.

I am currently registered in the Build Program and have enjoyed spending time @ the recycling, eval 1, and eval 2 benches.

Although I really enjoy my volunteer time @FG, my main interest is to learn enough about the operations to replicate the success of FG somewhere closer to my current Los Angeles area home.

Most of my professional experience is with large-scale software systems, including Financial, Manufacturing, Emergency dispatch, and Student Information systems. I started as an operator loading backup tapes on the midnight shift, and progressed to be a project manager at the University of Southern California

I have been using PCs since I built my first 4Mhz 8080 kit machine in 1979. I am proficient with almost all flavors of WinDoze and MacOS, as well as flavors of Unix from Sun, IBM, HP, and a large number of other industry dinosaurs. My OS experience also includes various flavors of Linux. These include RH, SuSE, Slackware, and Ubuntu. My current desktop is a dual boot Ubuntu 6.06 (DapperDrake) / Windoze XPpro machine (O.K. I like playing EQ)
