I started using GNU #Emacs 18.24 in 1987 or so, at UC Berkeley on SunOS 3.2. I've never been a hardcore elisp hacker, but I have tinkered here and there. I have an abiding fondness for #OrgMode, and use it whenever I get the chance.

My machines these days run #Debian, #VoidLinux, #OpenBSD, and #FreeBSD. I do most of my "playful programming" on an ancient #ThinkPad T60.

Berkeley was also where I learned #TclTk, which I still use as my scripting language of choice.

Young inside, hopefully. Curious. Perl addict. In love with Wife and the city of Roma.

Hacker, dad, pilot, amateur radio operator, activist, guy that is susceptible to new hobbies. Former president of Software in the Public Interest.

I live miles from the nearest paved road in #Kansas.

SRE at Google. I do not speak for my employer; views expressed here are my own.

Here to make friends and be part of a community. Currently on a journey to live, learn, and find authentic myself.

40-something, bisexual :bi_flag:, married, dad to 2 daughters, neurodiverse, optimist. Personally I love sci-fi, tech, futurism, cycling, and strength training. Professionally I love my work to make better strategies and decisions using data.

I mostly post about adventures in daily life and fitness. Occasionally I geek out about tech, code, and privacy. Rarely NSFW.

I like to think about universal healthcare, shelter for all, food security, free higher education and a safe environment.

Adventurer nerd. Total engineering. Do good.

Hi, I'm Charles Childers.

I'm a programmer writing in Forth, assembly, C, and a variety of other languages. I mainly use OpenBSD and FreeBSD.

My best known programs are RetroForth and Konilo. I also write small virtual machines, and a variety of small, personal computing tools. When not programming, I enjoy tea, reading books, riding a bicycle, and cooking.

My posts are automatically deleted after three months.

I like computers, lambda calculus, and type theoretic proofs, among other things.

I work at https://driftingin.space, in NYC

I'm also a hindu.

(PS. follow reqs are mostly automatic, just have a profile pic and some posts)

I try to understand the relationship between freedom and computers. I have been involved in the free software/culture movement since 1998. I love GNU Emacs and Org-mode.

Right now working at DINUM as head of the Free software unit: https://social.numerique.gouv.fr/@CodeGouvFr
