Hello, and Welcome to my user page.
I'm an SDET (Software Design Engineer in Test) interested in:
- Embedded systems
- Power Generation
- Blind Accessibility
- Computer Security
- Making the world a better place.
...looking for a side project I can be passionate about.
I bought an XO with G1G1 because I wanted to do something good in the world, and in return it turns out that I have been given the best thing for my morning commute since my mp3 player. I love it, but the battery and my inability to always be near an AC plug-in to recharge it here in the USA has made me very interested in ways I can power it on the go; I figure that if it works for me, a tribal school in a third world country will not have a problem, and needs the power more than I do.
Programming languages: LISP/Scheme, FORTH, Perl, Bash Shell, FORTRAN, COBOL, Java, C#, C, C++, Pascal, Smalltalk, scripting languages. And I'm learning Python.

I am currently interested in the following bugs:
- http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5161 - The XO's man pages are broken, not installed, and unavailable when the user chooses to do so.
- http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5769 - Blind accessibility is blocked by the lack of OSS emulation configured in ALSA by default.
