I am a Canadian Software Engineer living in Ottawa, Canada
I work on Embedded Linux at Wind River on the build systems team. My latest project has been a build cluster using Xen to help test the building of the distribtion on as many flavours of Linux as possible. I relied heavily on the communities around Linux, Xen, Cobbler, Puppet and more. I hope to share my experiences and further contribute to these wonderful communities.
I do not have a Facebook, Twitter, Google+ account. I have never been comfortable giving away that much personal information to any company. I may set up a RSS feed for convenience as soon I get more familiar with Jekyll
I browse with NoScript and ScriptNo and Ghostery because I do not like companies tracking my web surfing. So the only logical way to set up my blog was to not add tracking by Google Analytics or GetClicky, etc. If I were going to do this I would use something like Piwik so at least the tracking is not be aggregated into some larger database.
