Good morning! #CatsOfMastodon #KatLand #Cats #BlackCat #Cat
He was sleeping and suddenly startled by a weird sound in the house, so in stead of a quitely sleeping cat picture, this is what I got.
Well I guess now's the time: It's time for me to #getFediHired
I'm a software engineer with 29 years of experience. In more technologies than one person usually encounters. I've been working in Javascript and Typescript for a while, but don't let that fool you: I do rust for fun and I'm down in the guts of the runtime in C++ if I have to. I’m fixing include paths in C header files and managing deployments and doing system level tracing. I do embedded programming for fun, and I've picked at the system level APIs of everything from MacOS to Android. I can cleverly hack my way past problems, and isolate the resulting tech debt with a good explanation and the conditions under which it can be fixed.
I leave every codebase neater than I found it. I can manage awkward technology transitions, and I can bring a fair bit of open source know-how to bear on things.
I'm a team-oriented, consensus-focused person, but confident executing on my own and iterating from there. I will boldly start and show a prototype if that's what it takes. I'm not easily bored, so if it just needs a heavy lift, I'm here for that too.
I've worked in PHP, Python, Perl, Java, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Rust, C, C++, Vala, Scheme, and a dozen more languages (and I'll learn any new one I need to) and have written truly unfortunate amounts of hardened, careful bash.
I've installed and built VoIP platforms with Asterisk integrations, I've built mail servers and custom authentication. I've built FUSE filesystems for fun, and I'm always after ways to make software simple, durable, and reliable.
Got a team that could use me? Hit me up. aredridel@dinhe.net. Resume and letters of recommendation available on request (you really don't have to take my word for what I'm capable of.)
I'm looking for work!
I've worked on Mac apps like Growl and Adium, did QA and integration on Apple's Foundation framework, and developed custom analysis tools for Field Team 6. I've also done a wide variety of my own tools, mostly in Python, C, or Objective-C.
I live in SF; can do Bay Area commute or remote.

QNX becomes free for non-commercial use, releases Raspberry Pi 4 image
A long, long time ago, back when running BeOS has my main operating system had finally become impossible, I had a short stint running QNX as my one and only operating system. In 2004, before I joined OSNews and became its managing editor, I also wrote and published an article about QNX on OSNews, whic

My cat is sleeping beside me on the bed, he's not as intrusive as he often is, he's just curled up among the pillows nearby, I dig it!
My other cat:
And she's not in it for the mouse cursor as I originally thought — there's no action there, but she's been sitting like that for 10 minutes or so straight, just watching the log lines scroll by… Do #cats actually enjoy the console? 😹
For some reason I kept thinking that Eric Rohmer is still alive and well, I didn't know he died in 2010.
Rohmer was a devout Catholic, monarchist, and "ecological zealot". For years he had no telephone and refused to get into cars, which he called "immoral pollutors". For many years he was known to jog two miles to his office every morning. He was well known for his need for personal privacy and sometimes wore disguises, such as a false moustache at the New York premiere of one of his films. Rohmer's mother died without ever knowing that her son was a famous film director 🥺

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
