A little background info on me. This picture on the right is a self portrait I took of myself when I was sitting in the hotel lobby at the Hyatt Regency in Incheon, South Korea. It reminds me of one of my favorite Simpson quotes when Marge says to Homer:"I'm looking up your nose, but I feel like I'm staring into your soul."I grew up in a farming community in the northeastern part of the US. My father was an engineer by trade, and I always knew I would follow in his footsteps because when I was 5 I got a R/C truck for Christmas. I played with it until the batteries died. Then I found a screwdriver and took it apart. I almost got it back together, but had a few spare parts.
I have never been satisfied with something how it is. I am always tweaking something. I must open the registry editor at least once a week on my windows PCs and I am always using Terminal on my Mac's to tweak something.
I am always playing with the latest and greatest that I can find. I have been into dual booting computers since Windows 2000 came out. I have even done a triple boot on a Dell Laptop for Win XP, OS X and Ubuntu. Why? Just to see if I could.
I started using Windows Vista and Windows 7 the first Beta I could get my hands on.
One advantage to having multiple devices, I can install these on a computer and test stuff out but still use another that has a more stable OS.
Windows 8 Consumer Preview was released. About 30 minutes after the event started, I had the files downloaded and ready to install on my PC. I am currently running Windows 8 on my personal HDD on my work PC, as well as in a Virtual Machine on my Media PC.
In the past 6 months I have gotten fairly active in the Android Tablet communities as a fun thing to do.
Stay tuned for exploits on my latest endeavors.
Wow, great life story! I could never tell mine, I am so old that I wouldn't get much input before I croaked!!
