I am so jealous.

On the other hand, I just visited the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Virginia, so there.

Network Specialist is my title... work for a large California school district (80+ sites covering 75 square miles) for over 20 years now doing networking and server administration (mostly Windows, dabble in Linux, despise OS/X - at least for a server OS), and other duties as assigned.

My "specialties" include communications (BBS anyone?) and remote access, controller-based WiFi systems (currently implementing campus-wide WiFi systems at all of our sites), server virtualization, and SAN's. And a bunch of other stuff that, well, no one uses anymore (BBS anyone?).

I started out an electronics guy --- circuit design and board level repair type of stuff. Built my first computer in 1978 (Elf II anyone?). I used to machine code on 1802, 65xx and z80 processors, and some higher level languages later on, but it's hard to find the time these days. Maybe when I retire some day....

Hobbies include collecting ancient computers (although in recent years I have been selling them off... they take up sooo much room), gadgets, an occasional XBOX game, and and as much time in my Jeep as I can get. Oh, and my new pup.

I am always impressed with the depth of experience and abilities of folks these forums bring together. I am also impressed with the maemo community and some of the incredible software packages you have developed! Kudos!

BTW, I always wanted a really cool job like forest ranger....
