Buckaroo Mu: Second Life

I am a successful DJ, spending my nights at ~Mons Venus~, the hottest Rock & Blues Club around. I also enjoy building and scripting, and am looking to get into more complicated designs as time allows. I am Chief Moderator of the History & Moral Philosophy discussion group, which has open enrollment and meets on a regular basis to discuss the gray areas of existence. I'm married to the lovely Wendy Foxchase, talented clothing, shoe, hat, and jewelry designer, and an all-around wonderful person to be around.

Buckaroo Mu: First Life

OK, it's not my real name, but it's close enough. I am a life-long Geek of All Trades, currently serving as the Systems & Network Administrator for a large non-profit in the Mid-West USA (UTC-6/5). In the past, I have been: all ranks from Captain to ballast of a sailing vessel; Kinko's copy-boy; Arc-welder repairman, US Army Radio Repairman (ret); VAX, Novell, and Windows System Admin; Novell Server, Windows, PHP, and AVR Systems Programmer; and telephone Tech Support, to name a few.

I am an advocate of F/OSS, and use FreeBSD whenever possible rather than Windows (Although I do use XP on all of my desktops). I have converted my employer from Novell to FreeBSD/Samba/LDAP (much to their delight), and incorporate as much F/OSS as I can. I cannot say I'm good with C++ - I'm a Guru-level programmer with plain C, never learned much about the ++ part - but I do hope to be useful in the development of Second Life as an Open-Source System.

I'm also married to the Real Life woman behind Wendy Foxchase, and have been for the last glorious 16 years.
