introduction
Hi Everybody! This is my introduction post. If you want to know more about me: feel free to scroll through my timeline.
I just want to say: these humanist devices are terrible to operate when you have fins. So be patient with me when I make stupid writing errors...
I'm a retired software developer. I’ve worked on everything from mainframes to the web to Apple platforms. I write Zavala, an open source outliner for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I also contribute on occasion to NetNewsWire.
When not traveling the US living #vanlife, I reside in a small town in Iowa. I’m a cisgender male who knows how to mind his own business and leave others alone. Married with no kids, but two awesome cats. #sphynx #lycoi
I finally received my cortex implant!
Hi I’m Nika, you can also call me Kay.
I’m an engineer and my hobbies include gaming, cooking and baking, knitting and crocheting, and I’m tech savvy.
Currently I play the newest Pokemon game and my all time favourite cozy game is Stardew Valley. I also like Fallout, Witcher, Portal, Hades, Splatoon and Zelda.
I try to cook more plant based and this year I exclusively baked vegan.
I’m also agender and very queer.
I post with content warnings and try to post with accessibility in mind. Please tell me if I should CW something, no hard feelings.
My post will be deleted on occasion or on regular basis. I edit my post for spelling errors without notice.

G'day, I’m Dave! 👋
Welcome to my corner of the Fediverse.
My profile gives a decent snapshot of who I am, but for a fuller picture, check out the about page on my blog.

My social media is mostly private, but I’m happy to follow back anyone cool and interesting.

Brief:
I run cyber operations stuff for a privately held org. I also did military stuff for a pretty long time.
I like PC games, I'm fairly handy, love dogs, and other boring stuff.
Verbose/Debug:
I was an 80's kid who picked up on tech quickly and was properly setting VCR clocks around age 8.
Fam was poor, so no high-tech stuff in house, but I met a friend in jr. high whose dad was a mechanical engineer at a national lab.
He had both an XT and an AT at home. Spent most summer days at his place messing around on PCs. When I would visit my grandfather, I would play games on my uncle's computer. He had a bookcase full of the old boxes. I started with stuff like Commander Keen, moved up to Elite Plus, and the Micro Prose games like Gunship/Gunship 2000 etc.
My first PC of my own was a hand-me-down Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer 3 with all the trimmings. Coded my first "game" that was basically a reflex trainer where you would use the joystick to move a cursor onto a target and it would show you how long it took.
Started doing pixel art for games that my 3 friends and I were making. One of them made a kickass sprite editor in C that I used to draw animations.
I then had a hand-me-down IBM from another uncle. Asked my mom to buy me WordPerfect and learned my first lesson in checking software requirements and opened software return policies.
Eventually, I got a brand new Cordata 80486 SX 25MHz.
Started helping my dad build computers for family and friends. The most common platform I built were AMD K6-2 based.
Got crappy grades and had no money, so I went in the Air Force as a mechanic on A-10s.
Got the nickname CDubbs.
It was meant to be ironic.
A cool rapper name for the nerdiest bomb loader on the line.
Almost made it into the full motion intro video for a planned A10 simulator game, but the game got cancelled.
Got out in Y2K to enroll in college and joined the Air Guard to help pay for it. Didn't want to major in computers because I was afraid to ruin my hobby, so I majored in Electrical Engineering.
9/11 happened and I was back in the mid-east 2 more times while trying to get college going. Colleges weren't very flexible then and it was tough to get things done.
A guy at my part time job that I often talked computers with was a tech support manager for a hospital group. He said he had to let someone go an encouraged me to apply. I was sick of scraping by and not knowing when I would get orders again so I took the job. $43k a year in 2004.
I worked my way up to technical architect and server team lead over about 8 years. Did a whole lot of vbscript to move digital mountains and it paid off. One project was to migrate thousands of excel docs with external data source links to a new access-based enumeration DFS structure that I put together. Had to open each password protected file and use simple logic to create the new link targets. With DFS in place, we would be less likely to update links.
Was proud that I showed two help desk techs turned server admins how to script. They both went on to teach PowerShell for Microsoft.
I also built an automated RBAC provisioning tool that combined data from a payroll system for employees and a custom web frontend (not mine) and SQL database (again, not mine) for non-employees. This allowed clinical technology staff (nurses turned IT) to provision Dr. Offices without access to AD. No budget for a real IDM tool.
Had leadership challenges at the hospital group and needed to make a change. When looking for jobs I focused on cleared positions until one "regular" job post caught my eye.
It was written beautifully. Reasonable experience requirements, relevant technology, related responsibilities that made sense. I've been at the same place ever since, now running security operations.

Welcome to 🌙 Shark after Dark 🌙
This account features less-than-stellar and likely reality-detached toots, e.g. infosec meta-commentary, technology rants, life quibbles, w/e.
It serves as an (experimental) alt account for @shellsharks as part of my "social horcrux" lifestyle. If you follow me over there, this account should be familiar, albeit slightly more unhinged.
So if you want a li'l more Shellsharks in your feed, sub away! 🦈 🦈

Maybe I'm only a temporary refugee from mastodons.hams.social, until it comes back online. Maybe not.
Amateur Extra. Interested in everything that connects software to radios. Love to tinker with new stuff and learn all about it, only to abandon it soon after and find new stuff.
Running a 135 ft OCFD on 9 bands and an IC-7300 on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Mainly active on HF and digital modes.
#introduction because everyone else is doing it:
Complete nerd, grew up on #SciFi lit like #Wells #Verne #Clarke #Asimov and #Aldiss while watching #Hammer and #Amicus Horror late night in the 80s (Cushing/Lee are the pinnacle)
Spent my life watching #StarTrek #StarWars and #DoctorWho. Spent my teens watching #XFiles #Babylon5 and #80sHorror
Food obsessive (#Scranodon) and #AFOL (#AdultFanOfLego). I run a website with all my #MOC's at:

Hi, I'm an immigrant tech worker living in Seattle (aka a gentrifier; sadly). #seattle
Agender. #gender
Book lover but a slow reader (my therapist told me I have dyslexia but I think I just hate English /s). #books
Urbanist (not the liberal kind; pls don't call me liberal, I'll cry). #urbanism
I may or may not be an anarchist, depends on who's asking. #anarchy
Can't say I'm into #cycling or #rockclimbing anymore cause chronic pain sucks!
I don’t think I’ve done a proper #introduction, so here goes!
🖖 I’m Tuomas, a designer from Finland, living in Denmark with my partner and plants 🌈
🔊 I work as a human interface designer at Bang & Olufsen, have a background in industrial design.
🪐 Some things I’m into: design (duh) photography, audio, making, tech, Apple, programming (mostly web/embedded), Star Trek, vaporwave, gym, biking…
💬 My toots are often design critique or lukewarm takes on tech topics.
Glad to have y’all here! 🙂
#Introduction of my #bicycles. The Batavus Competition with 7-speed 105 I bought when I finished school, instead of getting my driver's licence. Later I splurged on a custom alu frame with Ultegra, the blue one with red Mavic wheels, from Hagen in Haarlem. Now I have an alu Canyon, still Ultegra but luckily much better wheels... On a parallel timeline, I had a Giant "ATB" hybrid-MTB thingie with Gripshift, but now a proper one with suspension fork, phew. #cycling #velophant #nonprocycling

After lurking the instance for a while, I guess it's time for an #introduction.
I'm a Spaniard living in Finland. Have been working in mobile games for quite a while. I've done a lot of UI programming over the years, and also dealt with the OS and integrating enough third-party SDK to know my way around the build systems.
For now this is going to be my only account, since I mostly posted about game-related stuff in the birdsite, but there may be some sporadic offtopic toot here and there.
