… Neither Ivy nor George had children. After George's death, I heard his voice in conversation with Anne and Rose. All three of them were alive. Can you guess the hidden history that explains the voice? It was not a voice from beyond the grave. Not quite. It was George's son, whose existence had been hidden from George's sisters (Anne and Rose) and everyone else in the known family, as far as we could tell. Barnardo's – things were very different in the 1950s. Fast-forward to when Anne (my mum) and Rose met my cousin for the first time. I stood in my mum's kitchen, making a pot of tea for him and his newfound family, listening to them in the front room, thinking: "it's George". George's son spoke like him, despite them never meeting each other (in living memory), and the resemblance was more than just a regional accent. Mysterious and lovely. Hidden histories …

Hi! I hope you are all doing well. This is just a quick introduction! I'm a Senior Cloud Consultant for a multinational corporation. First UNIX systems for me were SunOS, IRIX and AIX back in the day. I moved over to Linux very shortly in the late-90s and then OpenBSD. Around 2001 I moved over to FreeBSD and stayed. I use FreeBSD on all my servers and I used FreeBSD as a primary desktop at work from 2009 to 2013. I'm getting back into FreeBSD after a bit of a hiatus, let's see where it takes me. Kind regards....

First and foremost I am a Humanitarian. This ideology overshadows every aspect of my life. I am also a Philosopher, Mathematician and Software Architect as well as a Developer. I love art in all its forms and I will hold a conversation with anyone that is polite, even if they disagree with me. My computer science background can be found on my blog post here. As well as more insight on my moniker can be found here. I play around with FreeBSD on one of my home servers. I also play around with OpenIndiana. I primarily use Fedora based distros such as Fedora Workstation and Rocky Linux on my VPS. I also use custom builds of Gnu/Linux on some of my desktops, such as my GMKtec mini. I do not use any Microsoft OSes at all and have not for quite some time (decades). That does not mean I am not familiar with the domain as I have supported many friends and family on their Microsoft OS platforms. I maintain a Friendica Instance on the Fediverse. It has been a real pleasure and sometimes a point of frustration maintaining the Instance. I do enjoy the challenge though.
