My Mission
My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. Now that I'm retired I still use GNU/Linux on every computer in my home except the smartphones which run Android/Linux.Lately, I've been giving lots of thought to the world I inherited and which I will leave to my descendants. I'm planting grass, trees, flowers and vegetables in my large lot and I've ordered a Solo EV. I plan to charge my Solo by means of a tracking solar array. Life is good if you have a purpose. I do.

My company administers around a dozen servers around the world across many industries. We have never, ever, seen Microsoft exceed 32% of pages views (all their OS’s added together), and that was during their peak almost ten years ago now. Today they are lucky to exceed ten percent (after deleting “page views” coming from Microsoft owned servers). They have used “page view” spiders for a long time, but the IP addresses all trace back to blocks owned/controlled by Microsoft corporation. They have been “smoke and mirrors” and accounting tricks for a long time. When the CEO of Enron said he wanted “Enron to be the Microsoft of the energy business” he wasn’t kidding! Perhaps Microsoft is the Enron of the software business?
