My Hobbies

Other that computers, I have a few other hobbies.

Games: I like to play computer games, but I also like Card and Board games, here are some of my favorites.

• Cribbage
• Gin
• Monopoly
• Chess
• Checkers
• Go (The ancient Chinese Game)
• Othelo

Reading: I have a descent library that is continually growing. Here are some subjects I read about

• Computers
• Science
• Religion
• Math
• History
• SciFi
• Poetry
• Other Languages

Boating: I love boating. Not a great fisherman, but I like to boat. I have 2 boats, one a fishing boat I am working on, and the other is my vintage 1960 Montgomery Wards top of the line runabout. "Lil-Red" as she is called is 16' long and has the original 1960 trailer and a matching 1960 Johnson 75HP outboard. She can get up and go.

Auto Repair: I am currently working on a project car. It is a 1982 Porsche 928 Weissach Special Edition. It runs, but I am still getting parts so that it will be street legal (like a windshield). :-)

Vintage Stereo Equipment: I love 1960's and pre vintage stereo equipment. I have a pair of AR-3s, an Armstrong receiver, and a pair of ElectroVoice EV-16s.

Thift Store Shopping: I love to Thrift Store. I have found MANY cool things at them and am an avid shopper. I am also a pretty good walking eBay price list when it comes to electronics and computers.

My Relgion

I am kinda strange in my religious views. Perhaps if you read this you will understand a bit of my views, but remeber they are mine, and you are a guest in my "house". :-) So please respect my rights and views.

I am a devout Christian, and I go to a Baptist church. However as my voter registration card will tell you I do not allow anyone to decide my views for me. I am an Independant, I consider myself a Conservative Independant, and no I did not vote for McCain, I also did not vote for Obama.

I believe that God sent his only begotten Son to die for our sins, as the ultimate show of mercy. I also believe that God is pure Love, Pure Light, 100% good.

Here are a few points that I deviate from the norm.

I am against all death, whether abortions, or the death penalty. God offers everyone a second, third, fourth chance, and we should also offer that to our brothers and sisters. Remeber the parable about the woman that was to be stonned.

I believe in peace. Not the fake partisan peace of groups like Nebraskans for Peace, which are nothing more than a shell. It irritates me before Obama was elected they were everywhere fighting for peace, but as soon as their party gets into power war is A-OK. That is wrong, you should not use the flag of peace simply as another way to get your guy elected.

I belive that as Christ said, Love your Neighbor as Yourself.

Welcome to my Humble Aboade

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. If you are wondering my home pages have always been called "The Rabbit Hole" before the Matrix came out. Now for a little about me...

I am a 30-something geek. I generally will have my nose in a computer, or a book. The latter not as much as I would like. I am a Mac/Linux Network Administrator, and have been SystemAdmining and NetworkAdmining for about 8 total years. I mainly work on Linux servers, but occasionally forray into Solaris, BSD, Mac, and that other OS.

I am also pretty handy. I do alot of my own home repairs, work on my project car and boat, and like to help other people with their mechanical or electrical problems.

I enjoy card games, and board games.

On the internet you will not often find me available for chat as usually I am lurking.

I have a long haired dachshund named Merlin who is about 13 years old.

 

Well enough for this page, have fun...

Programming

I am a mainly a Perl programmer, a smattering of PHP, Javascript, and Applescript in there also, although I am working on learning C++. My main programming time is spent at work working on a Office Management system called Virtual Barrister. I have not done alot of programming on the side, but now that my home network seems to be mostly the way I want it perhaps that will change. I have quite a few ideas, but have not yet gotten around to implementing them.
