Skills
Things I know well enough I'm willing to teach. Contact me if you'd like to discuss:
- Wikis — I was a Wikipedia admin, and have spent a lot of time with Mediawiki.
- Knots and rope/cordage/line
- I work with knots and line from many disciplines: Sailing knots, climbing knots, arborist techniques, securing loads during transport, surgeon sutures, crocheting/knitting/net-making, kinky knots, fishing line knots, wire rope assemblies used in marine and crane applications, etc etc.
- Perl
- Un*x shell scripting — My day job involves doing production support work on Solaris, AIX, and RHEL machines. I use KSH, Bash, and Perl quite a bit.

Projects I'm working on:
