Re: [PLUG] Introduction - from Niagara Falls NY
My apologies for the delay in replying. I have just arrived in Portland from the wilds of the Far East beyond the edge of the known world. I am staying in the Paramount Hotel in room 810. I will be in attendance at the meeting on Nov 1. I haven't had time yet to prepare a formal talk. It's been a busy few weekw so far. Besides tinkering with a roomful of computers, I also raise carnivorous plants for some odd reason, and have somehow become responsible for caring for the carnivorous plant collection at the big botanical garden in Buffalo NY (buffalogardens.com - huge greenhouses). It's the beginning of dormancy season for many of the North American species, and that's a bit busy both in the greenhouses and at home. I'd be happy to do a brief introduction and am prepared to engage in informal discussions about what I've been up to. (Will there be any law enforcement present ?) I'll try and see if I can do better than that.

[PLUG] Introduction - from Niagara Falls NY
I have been following your activities both on the PLUG list and via live streaming from the meetings for the last couple of months, and thought it might be time to introduce myself. My name is Joseph Hart. I am originally from Niagara Falls, NY, and have been working with electronics and computers since the late 1960's. I lived in Japan for over 14 years working as a scientific progammer at a leading Kyoto area research laboratory in the fields of artificial life (Alife) and robotics. My wife and I moved to Western NY when they closed my section several years ago. I've pretty heavily involved with Linux itself for over twenty years, having started to use it when the lab began a changeover from the many other Unix systems they were using at the time (ex. SunOS/Solaris, IRIX, HP-UX, AIX, various Connection Machines, etc). I've got about 40 or so machines of various types (not all on at the same time...:-), including a goodly number of SGI boxes, five Amigas of various models, a number of miniaturized Japanese machines not available in the US, and of course a Raspberry PI. Many of these machines run a "distribution" of Linux which I designed and built entirely from source code. I originally did this about 10 years ago on an old 32 bit x86 machine just to see how far I could get with it. I liked the result so much that I kept it, and have since done a full X86_64 (64 bit) version, and an 32 bit ARM version for my RaspberryPi. Everything was built from source, including the kernels, glibc, Xorg (X11R6) , all the compilers (gcc, g++, f77, rust), Firefox 57, Thunderbird email client, and many other packages. My main machine has an X11 package which is configured to feed a quad monitor setup, and I run an i3 tiling window manager on top of that. As I mentioned earlier, the Raspberry Pi runs my custom Linux OS instead of Raspbian. It uses a special UBoot configuration to boot a vanilla kernel.org kernel instead of a patched Raspbian one. This ARM version was built on one of my x86_64 machines using a custom designed cross-compile tool chain also built from source. I use the Pi to provide locally what for me are low bandwith services such as DHCP, NTP, cron, DNS, Subversion, NFS, and a few others. It also functions as the manager/scheduler for my network backup system. That system takes incremental snapshots every hour on the hour. It also powers up selected machines one at a time during the night in order to handle machines which may have been on only infrequently during the day, takes the requisite snapshots, and shuts them down again if they were originally found off. This allows all the machines except the Pi to be left off when not in use, which saves on energy consumption. I've also got an older Mac Pro 1.1 . This was originally a quad core, but I have since modified it into an eight core machine. It natively runs a 64 bit version I built for it. Since this was my first 64 bit machine, the OS for it was built on one of my 32 bit machines using a similarly custom built cross-compile tool chain. That should be far more than enough about that. I am presently still in Western NY. It's very much a Microsoft "town". There's not very much of a Linux or technology market here so I'm somewhat semi-retired these days, but looking to get back into the field if chance permits. The wife and I are considering a visit to Portland in the near future, with a view to possibly moving there some day. We would like to try and catch a PLUG user group meeting if we can somehow manage that while we are there. My apologies for the lengthy message:-) Regards, J. Hart P.S. I also raise carnivorous plants for the fun of it... ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
