This is also a good excuse to become more familiar with front-end development to fill out my full stack credentials. </p>
<p>This blog is powered by <a href="http://mezzanine.jupo.org">Mezzanine</a> and <a href="https://www.djangoproject.com">Django</a>, themed with <a href="http://getbootstrap.com/css/">Bootstrap</a>, hosted with <a href="http://nginx.org">nginx</a> and <a href="https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi">uwsgi</a> over SSL with a certificate from <a href="https://letsencrypt.org">Let's Encrypt</a>. This is all running on a <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com">Digital Ocean VPS</a> running <a href="https://www.debian.org">Debian Linux</a>. </p>
<p>I've been writing software since I was a kid when my grandmother finally trusted me enough to mess around with her <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64">Commodore-64</a> where I learned BASIC. I program in C, C++, Fortran (2003,2008), Python, Perl and others. I've been running Linux for 20 years and know my way around web servers (Apache, Nginx), mail servers (sendmail, postfix, dovecot), DNS, as well as system programming. I also wear the hats of a meteorologist (We Are!), an aviator (flight instructor and airline pilot), husband and father. </p>
