About Me
I'm a computer geek who's been messing around with computers since I was a child. I am strongest with windows, but having been primarily using linux since early 2006. I am blessed to live with my better half, Trian, and her daughter Deanna. I was born and raised in the Hudson Valley area of New York. My interests revolve around computers, ethics and metaphysics in philosophy, theology (primarily Abrahamic religions), computer games, and tabletop role playing (primarily D20).
