Slightly crazed, somewhat lacking in sanity. I love kitties.

My computers range in power and operating system:

• My desktop: iMac running Mac OS X Snow Leopard
• My laptop: Compaq Presario V6000 running OpenSolaris snv_134
• My Servers: 2 run FreeBSD, the other runs OpenSolaris

I consider myself a geek, a web developer, and by profession I am a phlebotomist (I stab people!) I am very feline (I'm a kitty furry, too), and I have feline tendencies and mannerisms (yes, I even lurk around like a cat). My kitty is a 7lb calico who lost 3 of her fangs, making her a monofang kitty (they fell out on their own, I suspect there's an underlying disease process). I often mew in public, which sometimes causes awkward moments.

Web Development! I am skilled in the following:

• PHP 5
• Java (mostly I work with J2EE 6 and Servlet/2.5)
• MySQL (and SQL in general)
• HTML/4.01
• XHTML/1.0 Strict
• HTML 5 (learning this one)
• CSS/CSS2/CSS3
• FreeBSD administration
• OpenSolaris administration (learning this one)
• vim - VI iMproved (my preferred text editor and I still learn new tricks from time to time).
• JavaScript (very basic knowledge though, don't ask for anything even moderately advanced from me).

Random stuff about me:

• I used to use Windows. I switched to Mac. I had my reasons. Don't start a flamewar, please.
• My laptop was initially purchased to run FreeBSD, but it now runs OpenSolaris. Having to portupdate and then rebuild all the updated software became tedious, so I switched from FreeBSD to OpenSolaris.
• I drive a 1992 Lincoln Mark VII Bill Blass Edition. Sure its old, but newer cars just aren't the same. I like my Ford.
• The car mentioned above is named "Beastie".
• The monofang kitty mentioned above is named Oozy, but I call her spazzycat. There are reasons for both names.
