Hi folks, my name is James Harrison; I'm a computer science student at the University of New Mexico, studying mostly at the Los Alamos branch. I'm also a Unix systems administrator/developer at Los Alamos National Lab, where I've been working with embedded linux for a while. I've been working with FreeBSD for a few years now; a friend introduced me to it as a way to get a wireless card working that was stubbornly refusing to cooperate with any other operating system. After spending six months repeatedly breaking and ignoring the system by mixing packages and ports, I finally knuckled down and started learning how the system works. I'm working on the embedded FreeBSD project; I find embedded development to be difficult and extremely enjoyable. It covers a lot of bases, while also hearkening back to days when there were fewer resources available on any system, so that I feel like I'm working in an environment from the late seventies or early eighties. Which means I feel retro cool without actually being limited in resources in the real world. Best James
