Me, at present
I’m presently working full time doing IT work at a company called TVS and am quite happy there. I’m being an autodidact in my spare time with a focus on Computer Science. Some of the reasoning behind that decision is here.
I’m taking a leave of absence from the educational system after a semester as a transfer student at Southern Polytechnic State University where I was studying Computer Science and three years at Oglethorpe University studying Literature and Economics. I’m an Oglethorpe Kid at heart.
Other Things I Do
I write a blog, discussing a curiously strong blend of poetry, music, software, and my personal life.
I write code with the hopes of really understanding programming one day. Consequently, what's in there mostly pertains to my course of study at the moment. Expect to see personal projects later on.
I like to listen to music and work on crazy playlists.
I maintain a Facebook account that I check pretty frequently.
I've started a LinkedIn account that I’m awful at keeping up with.
I also happen to run a little jukebox called ampache.
I enjoy playing blues guitar and occasionally even doodle a little in my "studio".
I also skateboard, covet books obsessively, and love grabbing noodles with Teresa. She's pretty hardcore.
What about this moth-eaten stuff?
I left SPSU to pursue my own educational agenda which no university I’m aware of currently jibes with. There are fragments of my emerging philosophy about the decision to leave school littered throughout my blog.
Before leaving for SPSU, I was causing trouble at Oglethorpe reading all the books in the library that weren't assigned reading and generally using up huge amounts of bandwidth. I maintain that OU is a really good place to be and I frequent the campus a lot.
I was working for Leading the Way for a good while and then was unemployed before settling in May of 2007 with the delightful TVS where I work on everything from Linux Server Clusters and VMware ESX systems to Acronis backups and so on. I was an intern through 2007 and went full time in January 2008.
I’m a very diligent worker and I get really excited about computers.
I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and attended North Atlanta High where I was generally miserable and causing trouble.
If you want to know about anything before that, you're definitely going to have to take me out for coffee to get it out of me.
