IrishMASMS
IrishMASMS is an old school hardware and network guy. He has degrees in Management of Information Systems, computer programming, networking technology, microcomputer programming, and aviation/aerospace management. Certainly not a bit-head by any means, but he will write some code if forced. After exploring the wonders of the early years with TRS-80s, Mac Plus, and even some Unisys mainframes and a clustered DEC VAX, he is currently frustrated as a miracle worker for a government library with no IT budget, and looking for a better opportunity in the information/network security realm. During off time and when not working any consultant jobs on the side, he helps with the local Linux Users' Group and other local IT organizations. He also enjoys a few LAN parties, his NES, and his cat. No one can confirm or deny that he is a founding member of the 241_Crew, a locally based group of misfits who explore technology and the local music and epicurean scene.
