My areas of primary technical expertise are computer hardware, <br>
networking and protocols, DNS, operating systems, and random sysadmin <br>
things like backup/restore.<br>
<br>
I am moderately competent in php, awk/sed, c, sh/bash, python, Ruby, <br>
Java, and Cisco/Juniper/Ubiquiti router configuration languages which <br>
typically have no names. I have never made my peace with the <br>
object-oriented usage style of PHP.<br>
<br>
I am frightfully ignorant in databases/SQL, CSS, Javascript, and .NET. I <br>
am terrified of Perl and couldn't learn it even at gunpoint.<br>
<br>
I am a world-class expert in a vast number of useless dead or near-dead <br>
languages (Fortran, Cobol, Pascal, MACLISP, Scheme, APL, PostScript, <br>
PL/I, Algol68, Mesa, BLISS, BCPL, SAIL, MAD, Eiffel, Tcl, Erlang, <br>
SNOBOL, Ada, ML, JOVIAL, and a dozen assembler languages). This does <br>
have the interesting side effect that about once every year or two I get <br>
an urgent cry for help from some company or government that has a <br>
critical system still running in one of these ancient languages and <br>
haven't been able to find a living person who can work with their code base.<br>
<br>
I was a NASA certified space electronics assembly technician, though I <br>
suspect that my certification, issued in 1971, has expired. I built a <br>
couple of sub-modules that went to the moon on Apollo 17. The residual <br>
value of this training is that I can make custom cables that actually work.<br>
