Sfgiantsace36: Major re-organization of 2013-12-17

[[file:Sfcap.jpg|150px|thumb]]

Thanks much for your assistance, Jarrod and J.C.!! :-)

== Intro Blurb ==
Hello, my real name is Aaron and I like using the moniker SFGiantsAce36 because I am an SFGiants fan and usually wear a Giants baseball cap when at Noisebridge.

== General Interests ==
Linux SysAdmin with raw Debian GNU/Linux and #! Linux
Desktop-PC hardware "hacking" and trying new electronic tchotchkees(==gizmos)
Programming (Python, bash scripting,...etc.)

== Past History ==
Frequented Noisebridge up through the end of the Summer of 2013, and just returned to visit now after a 1month+ hiatus, predominantly for learning & practicing new stuff.
I've visited Noisebridge on Mondays-Fridays off-and-on for ~1.5 years now, including the relatively offpeak hours between 10am-6pm on these days.

== Present ==
As I write this, am currently involved with 1a) Bash-scripting 1b) Carefully testing ATAx hdd's and optical drives 2) Figuring out how to install, use and dual-boot Slackware 14.1 and Arch on a few PCs (too low HW for VMs though, darn dat!) 3) Toying around and optimizing my Raspberry Pi which has Raspbian currently installed on it...... too bad that Noisebridge doesn't seem to have a working and available in-house LCD monitor that I could use with the RPi :-\

== Future ==
Besides bash-scripting and more Linux stuff, would also consider attending an upcoming Intro to Perl class, depending on interest and schedule of instructor/attendees.

== Addenda ==

Sfgiantsace36: have this user-creation attempt save just in case the wiki tries to steal this again!

Seem to be having an INORDINATE amount of difficulty editing and saving this Wiki User page!

Hello, my real name is Aaron and I like using the moniker SFGiantsAce36 because I am an SFGiants fan and usually wear a Giants baseball cap when at Noisebridge. Was at Noisebridge yesterday.

Have been coming to Noisebridge off-and-on for ~1.5 years now, predominantly for learning & practicing new stuff, e.g.,

Linux SysAdmin with raw Debian GNU/Linux and #! Linux
Desktop-PC hardware "hacking" and trying new electronic tchotchkees(==gizmos)
Programming (Python, bash scripting,...etc.)

I've visited Noisebridge on Mondays-Fridays, including the relatively offpeak hours between 10am-5pm on these days.

As I write this, am currently involved with 1) Bash-scripting 2) Figuring out how to install, use and dual-boot Slackware 14.1 and Arch on a few PCs (too low HW for VMs though, darn dat!) 3) Toying around and optimizing my Raspberry Pi which has Raspbian currently installed on it...... too bad that Noisebridge doesn't seem to have a working and available in-house LCD monitor that I could use with the RPi :-\

Sfgiantsace36: applicant for Associate Membership

Hello,
I'm really "Aaron" in real-life, but sometimes like to call myself "sfgiantsace36" after the favorite MLB team of many of us.
Favorite forms of hacking are
- Hardware hacking (desktop PCs, RPi,...etc)
- Linux distro-hacking (SysAdmin, bash/py scripting, multibooting,...etc)
- Server/router setups (HW, firewall, web,...etc)
- Skills development

Very much NOT into the drama and ego-play that has gone-down at Noisebridge ever since I first started visiting ~1.5 yrs ago!
Love to absorb & learn new material though, w/o having to endure the less-short speeches of some of the classes and some of the wkly meetings.

Cheers,
sfgiantsace36
