I am a sophomore in college, working at a library, taking classes in graphic design, and majoring in CIS.
My digital life:
I got my first computer at age 14, a used beat up Dell Opti-plex. After many frustrating days learning it,
I began to tweak Windows, and learned what I could to make it better. In High School i was given exposure to linux by our IT,
I helped out in the IT department for 3 years, working and beginning to love Tablet PCs, which I now own a HP Tx2510US
and a Wacom Bamboo tablet as well. After tweaking (Read as: Breaking) computers for almost 6 years, I know run all linux,
minus my Tablet PC, which is in for repairs at the moment, as well as a linux server, running this site, and more.

A bit about me personally.
I'm me, and for most of you, that's all you could say about me.
I'm usually rushing between one of the hundreds
of things I am involved in. Right now, its 5 classes and 2 jobs, and keeping up this site.
I am/was a member of Rebel, an anti-tobacco
group, and highly believe in natural highs, instead of drugs,
cigarettes, and can be found white water rafting and rock climbing
whenever I can, with a group of my friends. I usually have 3 or 4
projects going on at any given time. I've taken up the idea of not
caring, relaxing, and focusing on what I want. It works pretty well. I'm
enjoying myself, doing good in school, getting my personal projects
done and most of all am not all stressed out. A while back I
worked at a library, basically shelving books. Not a bad job. I'm currently back, working in a different library now.
If you want to know more about me, follow me on twitter
twitter to get more of my thoughts, ideas and random ranting.
Lately, I'm working 2 jobs, taking 5 summer classes, and working on my personal site,
simplestart.me, and a site for the local scout troop.
About the Site (TOS, privacy policy, and that junk)
Any of these can change as anytime, without notice, its my site, hosted
in my house at my server, so I have no policies to worry about.
Section 1. Popups I do not put annoying popups on the site
without notice. If a page has a popup (minus the blog, that uses
wordpress and may use popups) It will be noted on there, and be a
click-to-activate popup. The excepton to this rule is firefox
addons/theme/personas/ubiquity commands that i may write. These will
popup a small bar on the top of the screen.
Section 2. IP/personal information Since my server is hosted at
home, I have full access to the logs, and have full right to do
whatever I want with them. I damn well will, but going through them
takes a lot of time. I log IP addressed but will probably never do
anything with them except check for hack attempts. One strike your gone
policy. I see you sniffing around, trying to find admin stuff, or
anything of that sort, your blocked and reported to every agency I can
report you to. I will also encourage my friends to hack you back and
will do so myself. I do use Google Analytics. Thats the only other
information I store or use. The exception is if your part of my domain
and use roundcube or even the gmail interface. But if you have an
account, you know me and I know you so it shouldn't matter.
Section 3. Advirtisng I will not post advirtisements of any sort
on this site as long as its hosted from home under the alpha1beta.com
domain. I will only advirtise if I need money for hosting, domain or
anything else to do with the site. As long as its hosted at home, and I
don't have to contribute to the internet bill, I will never advirtise
on this site.
Section 4 Spam. See the contact page
Section 5. Ownership. Lets make this clear. I own this site, I
own the server. I (for the most part) don't embed content from other
sites. What this means is I can do whatever I want, within the law.
Comments on the blog and guest posts are property of the writer. But I
am allowed to repost them and use them, giving credit, royalty free.
