Okay. $dayjob has gotten to the point where I need to do something about it.

I'm officially looking for other opportunities in the sysadmin/IT/devops/etc space. I've been a linux/unix sysadmin generalist for ~20 years now and I'd like to apply my considerable skills and experience to the aid of some organization seeking to do good things in the world.

You can find my resume at https://github.com/48kRAM/resume (Yes, my resume has a Makefile)

Open to both remote positions but also to relocation in the U.S. (Currently based in Central Virginia) I enjoy having my hands on hardware and fixing problems. And, of course, I'll bring all the retro gaming nerdery with me.

I'd love to #getfedihired :)

Thanks

@davehay Thanks. It's referring to my Atari 400 which was my childhood computer.

@48kRAM @davehay love that external keyboard
Show thread48kRAMMay 6, 2023
@Polychrome @davehay Yeah, my dad built that so we could actually type on this blasted machine. It's an 800 keyboard, homemade box, wired in parallel with the internal keyboard matrix connector.

@48kRAM oh wow, never had one of those but, back in that era - early 80s - we had two local stores - Boots ( The Chemist 😂) and W H Smiths ( stationers ) that had huge displays of so-called microcomputers, including Atari, Commodore, Oric, Sinclair, Acorn, Coleco and a massive range of Japanese MSX machines

First Atari I ever used was the 2600, a friend got one, and I loved Frogger and, even better, River Raid

First owned micro was a Sinclair ZX-81 - I think it was rebadged as Timex, in North America

@davehay Yeah, we got the Timex Sinclair 1000 here. I have 2 Spectrums though- a 16->48k rubber key and a +2

@48kRAM yay, very cool 👌🏽

Every so often I get an urge to buy a retro computer, but hold myself back - one day, the dam will crack …..
