Brock Tice’s Summary
I enjoy figuring out how systems work and bending them to my will (and/or the desired application). This has led me to explore a variety of interests from building, running, and tinkering with personal computers through earning a doctorate in biomedical engineering.
I have been a Linux and Unix user since the summer of 2000, and am therefore well-suited to computational science. I have been responsible not only for cardiac electrophysiology research, but development of research software and administration of Linux workstations, file servers, and two high-performance clusters. I know enough about Linux to know that there's also quite a bit I still don't know, but I do usually know where to find the answers to my questions.
I have the following levels of experience with the listed operating systems:
Linux - extensive
Debian - extensive (mostly Sarge and Lenny)
Fedora - extensive
Gentoo - extensive
OpenSuSE - moderate
RHEL/CentOS - moderate
Ubuntu - moderate to extensive (server and desktop)
Yellow Dog - minimal
Mandrake - extensive but years ago
AIX - moderate
IRIX - minimal
Solaris (SPARC) - minimal to moderate
BSD (various flavors) - minimal to moderate
Mac OS X - extensive
Windows XP - moderate
DOS, Windows 3.0, Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98/98SE - I wish I had none but I can't say that. Do you really care?
Programming Languages:
C - moderate
C++ - moderate
Java - moderate
Perl - extensive
Python - minimal
Bash - extensive
PHP - moderate to extensive
BASIC - ages ago, again, do you really care?
Technologies:
Warewulf - moderate
OpenPBS/Torque - moderate
Scyld Beowulf - moderate
KohanaPHP - moderate
Prototype JS - moderate
Android - minimal to moderate
HTML/CSS - moderate
gdb/ddd - moderate
SSH - moderate to extensive
Apache - moderate to extensive
I'll risk saying I prefer Emacs.
If you want to know more, just Google me. I use my real name online (brocktice, brock.tice, brock tice).
