This is my personal Web site, which contains personal and professional information about me, technical guides on GNU/Linux and UNIX, and essays on computing ethics and freedom.

About Me

I am:

• A hacker (that is, a playful tinkerer who values freedom of information).
• A knowledgeable user of GNU/Linux.
• A software author.
• A fan of freely- and semi-freely-licensed heavy metal and rock music.
• An undergraduate computer science student.
• A self-taught student of U.S. and international copyright law and free software licensing.
• The leader of my university's undergraduate GNU/Linux special interest group.

New:

• A presentation on the disputed legal validity of software contracts.
• A workshop on the UNIX shell I gave at NJIT.

To come:

• More essays on computing ethics and freedom.
• Technical guides on GNU/Linux, especially one related to the boot process (an apparently popular topic with which I'm quite familiar).
