About me:  MIRAMET

Musings from a sarcastic programmer who has spent the better portion of life in the printing/graphics/IT industry.

  In a world of hairdressers and rednecks talking about how cool their AOL accounts are,
Its good to know that I know UNIX.
  When upper management says we need to create an action item to delegate invasive marketing tasks,
Its good to know that I know UNIX.
  In a world where an admin is rendered useless when the ball in his mouse has been taken out,
Its good to know that I know UNIX.

I've migrated from Fairfield County (Greenfield Hill in Fairfield) in order to avoid the ritzy pinheads who think far too highly of themselves, 10 years in central CT, and now reside in Lynchburg, VA as a data programmer who loves to cook (I'm quite good as I've been told), watching college football (GO BLUE! Michigan-My blood runs "Navy and Maize", then FSU; Florida State Seminoles, U of C, Colorado Buffs, and the Ducks of Oregon; (for no other reason than the UGLY uniforms!).  And I am now on the Bandwagon for  Boise State!  How many teams have the balls to call a play for 4th and 20 from the 30 yard line and not call a time out, run a hook and lateral and do it without a hitch,  then on the next play, score, as if they planned it!   Sorry SOONER fans...

I watch the NFL Network, Food Network, Turner Classic Movies, BBC, PBS and AMC when there isn't a game on. 

I did camera work for NCTV, a public access station in the town that used to live in ("Action Photo" above), and do computer support on the side. 

Whenever I have a block of free time, I can be found somewhere in New York, "Motoring" in the Central Virginia area (MINI people know what I mean!), or in front of a bowl of Mi Ga, Pho or Bún bò (See Below). And I wouldn't turn down a good plate of Thai Basil if offered one...

Mi Ga (Yellow Noodle Soup with Chicken), Pho (Beef Noodle Soup with Rice Noodles), Bún bò Hue (Spicey Beef Noodle Soup)

I get all with Shrimp. This stuff is addictive. I've had it all over and the best I've had is at Pho 501 in East Hartford on Main street. But for now, I have options.
