brain fart while coding:

Geek, Mostly Lurker in Charlug. I visit Charlotte often as the 
sub-contractor of a sub-contractor and was looking for signs of 
intelligent life so I joined Charlug. Co-Founded Chugalug.org in..
uh.. 99? - Chugalug = Chattanooga Unix Gnu and Linux Users Group.

Started life as an electronics tech, then "engineer",
then "programmer" then systems/networking guy (Built/ran ASN-3901 and a 
few others), biz-dev-guru (then I took a bath), and now I'm an 
"everything" building a couple of small companies. Now I spend a lot of 
time doing PHP/Perl/C code... and meetings.  My main business card says
"Systems Architect" but I like just being me.. a geek that solves 
problems. I -love- being told: "You can't do ______"

A former competitor once put up a website called "arrogantgeekbastard.com"
about me... but took it down when he found I was laughing about it and 
using it as a reference. I always liked the description though.

Current projects: GrokRock.com - yet another online learning management system.
                                  PHP, MySQL, Some weird JavaScript.

                                  PHP, MySQL, C, Asterisk, Perl, Flash..
                                  everything including the kitchen sink.
