These
are a few of my favorite things:
Computers
-
Yes, I am a geek, a hack programmer (not a "cracker" or "warez"
guy, but an actual programmer. I admire free software, such as that provided
by www.nonags.com. I
don't play games, nor do I do Instant Messages very often. I'm usually
tinkering in the guts of programs and operating systems.
-
My Favorite Freeware is
stuff that I strongly recommend and vouch for. So take a look! I
didn't write these (I'm not that good), but I really like them!
-
I enjoy helping people with their network problems, and you
can find me on the
BroadbandReports.com site under the name of funchords.
-
I'm currently learning Linux internals, using the Fedora Core
4 (FC4) distribution.
Hobbies
-
Bowling, a great American pass-time with historical roots back
to the stone ages. Scooter and I have taken this up and we really enjoy
it!
-
Barbershop Harmony is a uniquely American art
of 4-part a-cappella singing, sung in both choruses and quartets.
Listen to some great barbershop music, learn about its
history, or come
join us in a song!
-
Poker ... ya gotta love poker!

pdx-poker list!

Quotes
-
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points
out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done
better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face
is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and
comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or
shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who
spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the
triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he
fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold
and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." -- Teddy Roosevelt

"I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together" - by Joe Hamilton, popularized by Carol Burnett
I'm so glad we had this time together
Just to have a laugh or sing a song
Seems we just get started and before you know it
Comes the time we have to say 'so long.'
There's a time you put aside for dreamin'
And a time for things you have to do
But the time I love the best is any evenin'
I can spend a moment here with you |
When the time comes that I'm feelin'
lonely
And I'm feelin' oh so blue
I just sit back and think of you only
And the happiness still comes through
That's why I'm glad we had this time together
'Cause it makes me feel that I belong
Seems we just get started and before you know it
Comes the time we have to say 'so long.' |
