Oh. It's you.
Who I am and why I keep this page up:
Ok. I confess that there isn't really a reason. It's been ages since anyone really looked at this place, and I don't suppose there's a whole lot of reason for anyone to be poking around here. Since you stopped by, maybe I owe you an explanation of a few things.
I now live in Scottsdale Arizona, just north-east of Phoenix. Since arriving here in 2005, I've lived in Glendale, Phoenix, Laveen, and now Scottsdale.
Arizona wasn't always home. (And I'm actually beginning to doubt that there are any natives here at all) I grew up in southern Ohio, in a somewhat small city called Cincinnati. One day in the spring of 2005, I packed my Subaru up on a trailer and towed it to Phoenix on nothing more than a need for a change and a desperate need for a break from the cold.
After a few years of living in various areas of Phoenix, I've finally gotten used to life in an enormous metropolitan city. I've made a number of good friends and have experienced a rather impressive spiritual re-awakening. Parts of myself that I'd thought long dead have awoken and led me into many new adventures and experiences which I write about somewhat frequently in my blog. (found at the "Words" link above.)
Anyway. I work with computer systems for a living, more specifically Operating Systems. More specifically than that, UNIX and UNIX-Like operating systems such as Linux and Haiku.
In my spare time I enjoy a variety of pursuits such as piano playing, reading books about history, politics, economics, science, philosophy, etc. I've been known to play PC video games from time to time, but I'd rather be outside. I love to go biking and hiking for pictures and sometimes I even take the time to upload them to my gallery, which you can access by finding the link that says 'Imagry'. I used to work at a coffee shop on weekends so I can make all those fluffy neat coffee drinks in my kitchen and I sometimes over-do it. (One time I had so much espresso I thought I was a hummingbird for a while.)
Anyway, there isn't much to say about the place except it's got some links that you might find interesting. There's pictures to see, recipes to check out, computer junk to peruse, and the occasional entertaining story in a blog. Take a look around and drop me a line if you have anything in particular you'd like to say. kate{at}loux.Oh Are Gee.
