Hi.  I'm Jeff, and I'm a neophile.  (Everybody: "Hi, Jeff.")

I'm sitting in Caffe Sole, in Boulder, Colorado, which is on Mountain Time.

I started doing Unix over 30 years ago.  My first commercial Unix job was working on the first port of Unix to an Intel box.  I have an original set of PC/IX disks and manuals in my office.  5 1/4" floppies.  "Why, when I was a boy, ...." etc.  You'd think I'd have learned something, wouldn't you?  

Wrong.

Still, I keep trying as a sentinel.  They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, so when I finally learn something, I'll know I'm entering my second childhood.

One thing I'm hot to learn is Puppet.  I finally talked my boss into letting me take a 3-day course from Puppet Labs, which means I know the basics, but would now like adult supervision.  I meet friends to geek out every Thursday, and can probably do 2-4 hours a week, then.

I know some C and Perl, more shell, and a bit of Ruby.  I do SCM, so I can get by in git and write Makefiles and stuff.  My English is better than you'd expect, even though it is my native language.

My IRC handle is "goyishekop".

More questions?  Ask away.
