This tells you most of what you need to know about me. I am definitely a major nerd. For example, I help make Ubuntu better. For free.
I have a profile on LinkedIn.
I have a blog. If I feel I need to get up on a soapbox about something, this is where I do it. There aren't many things that are important enough (or have bothered me long enough) that I feel the need to publish something for all to see, hence the dearth of entries.
Want to know about my general philosophy? Wondering why I spend so much time on Ubuntu despite not getting paid for it? Take a look here here.
Want to contact me? I usually go by "Alex", and this is my website. I think you can figure it out. (Email addresses are typically all lower-case, by the way.) I'm sure you're a wonderful person, but there are many people who are not, and they tend to have digital minions who jump like rabid dogs on anything that looks like an email address, so I have to make you guess. Sorry. Maybe some day I will put it behind a CAPTCHA, so you will be able to see the address, but only after separating pictures of kittens from pictures of puppies or something like that.
I have a public key, by the way. I sign most of my email with it. Any email purporting to be from me but without a cryptographic signature may not actually be from me. If the signature is invalid, somebody is definitely doing something evil.
I have a CA certificate. Installing it will enable you to access my web site securely over SSL (and do other things like chat over XMPP if you have an account). Of course, the important question is this: do you trust me not to impersonate your email provider? If so, then here you go. If not, you can choose to trust individual certificates for my various services.
I have written quite a bit of code in my time. Some of it is even publicly available.
Why does this site look so boring?
