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.
</p>
<h3>About Me</h3>
<p>
I am:
</p>
<ul>
<li>A hacker (that is, a playful tinkerer who values freedom of
information).</li>
<li>A knowledgeable user of GNU/Linux.</li>
<li>A software author.</li>
<li>A fan of freely- and semi-freely-licensed heavy metal and rock
music.</li>
<li>An undergraduate computer science student.</li>
<li>A self-taught student of U.S. and international copyright law and free
software licensing.</li>
<li>The leader of my university's undergraduate GNU/Linux special interest
group.</li>
</ul>
<h3>New:</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="talks/software-contracts/">A presentation on the disputed legal
validity of software contracts</a>.</li>
<li><a href="guides/shell-workshop/">A workshop on the UNIX shell</a> I gave at
NJIT.</li>
</ul>
<h3>To come:</h3>
<ul>
<li>More essays on computing ethics and freedom.</li>
<li>Technical guides on GNU/Linux, especially one related to the boot
process (an apparently popular topic with which I'm quite familiar).</li>
</ul>
