User:Gearhead
From WWR
Gearhead lives in Virginia with his wife of 32 years. His last gig was as an application programmer for 16 years. He is now officially a dinosaur, having extensive, but mostly unmarketable skills in COBOL, JCL, and several other technologies which -- although they are incredibly powerful, robust, and trouble free -- have been the victims of much ignorance and bad press.
In an attempt to stave off extinction, said dinosaur has recently taken courses in Java, Java Server Pages, relational database, SQL, DB2, and RPG-IV/LE. Also, through self study, Gearhead has learned (or is learning) about HTML, CSS, XML, and of course Wiki. Now all he needs are some "bite sized" projects where he can put all this neat new stuff to use.
Until further notice, Gearhead will work for food
Well, I suppose this is that "further notice I mentioned earlier on". During the month of July, 2008 there has been progression in the disease process and Gearhead is paralyzed from the waist down. This severely restricts activity. There are still a few pleasurable things I can do, however, so let me try to keep the focus there.
A certified "knowledge junkie", Gearhead is interested in just about everything that goes on in this world, as well as outside of it. Being highly allergic to the human trait known as "focus" has been both a blessing and a curse. The jury is still out on which is winning.
Please come visit my website. It is nothing grand, but you may find an image or a thought to brighten your day or inspire reflection.
