whats up everyone! ive been mainly just a reader to this forum because i dont know much yet but im teaching myself as i go

[badbass]

I am just a guy who used to have time for this kind of stuff I am learning how to make time. I play with linux, cisco devices, rollout computers at work, and do other IT related stuff. Play the guitar and go fishing. For fishing I need an ROV to see why I am not catching any. Used to drink beer wine jack dont have time.

[tallship]

Hi, my name is Bradley. You can call me tallship and yes, I spell that with a lower case 'T', and no, I'm not a sub, I'm a Dom.

I'm pleased to make everyone's acquaintance here.

I've attached photos of me to this post, and also, one of my buddy Linus - who also provides some great quotables if you ask me... Like "...they are smoking crack", in reference to SCO and used roughly the same way towards others.

I like Cheezburgerz. I hate cats, but they seem to like me, and a few have even forced me to let them adopt me.

I love dogs. I hate SPAMmerzzz and to them I say, "Go directly to RBLzzzz - do not can haz pass go, do not can haz collect 200 Cheezburgerz. Poo!"

I've been doing shit with Linux since 1992, before that I used DOS with Artisoft's server.exe (not ailanbio) and Desqview/X (I got really creative searching for UNIX-like operability on IBM compatible PCs, BSD 4.2, MVS, CP/M, and a few other Mainframe thingies... can't remember all that stuff really. There was a time when I could hold a punch card that had been torn in half by a card reader up to the light and read it off like a book to a keypunch operator so that I could finish loading my programs.... Been doin' this thang since I was 15 years old - like many of you.

The difference is, in many cases, that it was much longer ago when I was 15 than when you were 15 ;) - maybe not, but that is the case more often than not nowadays for me.

One of the most endearing things that anyone ever said to me was:

"Now Bradley, don't you ever forget... we put two men on the moon with 8K of memory."

And I never have forgotten that. prolly coz I saw the live coverage of those two guys landing on the moon when I was seven or eight years old, with the voice of Walter Cronkite in the background, detailing every single second of the event.

Who's Walter Cronkite? Well, if you don't know that, it's not important - but you should remember that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first two men on the moon, and also, never forget that we put them there with only 8K of RAM - Okay?

Well I really don't know where everyone is getting the boilerplated template to post... but I'll cut and paste and here goes, maybe adding a few fields, maybe deleting some, who knows?

Favourite game: I don't play fricken' games. I shoot real firearms with real ammunition at real things.

Favourite OS: Slackware, duh!

Favourite console: VT52 - http://www.vt100.net/docs/vt52-mm/and http://www.vt100.net/docs/vt52-mm/figure1-1.html

Favorite SuperHero: Thor... or Conan the Barbarian. Or Chuck Norris.

Favorite Idol: Baal.... no, wait... that's a graven image. Hang on, um.... Marie Curie, Teddy Roosevelt, and, not that TV show!

Favorite quote: For it was enough, not to eat, what you did not like. But he who reflects on another man's want of breeding shows he wants it, as much, himself - Gaius Julius Caesar

Second Favorite Quote: "Ask Bill why the string in [MS-DOS] function 9 is terminated by a dollar sign. Ask him, because he can't answer. Only I know that." - Dr. Gary Kildall.

Third favorite Quote: "Guys, this is not a dick-sucking contest" - Linus Torvalds http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/02/linus-torvalds-i-will-not-change-linux-to-deep-throat-microsoft/

I have been quoted saying: "You can do it right, or you can do it twice". And, "Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do."

[Gabriel Theodoulos]

Hello,

My (online) name is Gabriel Theodoulos, and my friends either refer to me as Gabby or Uncle Gabe.

I'm a 51 yr old retired soul who has way too much time on his hands, so rather than waste it on frivolous and non-sensical activities, I thought it would be cool to learn a new career which I could do with my limited mobility!

I've been working with computers since 1982, with my first computer being a Commodore PET, and have done everything from repairing PC's to hacking my way through Visual Basic and Microsoft Access projects.  

Recently, I've stumbled across Darren Kitchen's and Shannon Morse's hak5 videos, and I think all of you guys are awesome!  Have known Patrick Norton (back in the ZDTV days!) and have found anything he's tied to, usually turns out great!

Am glad to be a Patreon!

Glory! There's no "Edit" Button!
