<h1>Welcome</h1>
|
||||
<p>Welcome to The Internet Vagabond, a small slice of Internet
|
||||
real-estate for Bill Niblock. Nothing I say is visionary or
|
||||
profound, and sometimes it makes sense.</p>

<h3>About the Site</h3>
|
||||
<p>The Internet Vagabond is a small slice of Internet real-estate
|
||||
for Bill Niblock. I don't have much of a use for this site,
|
||||
currently, so it's more of a empty plot than a store-front.</p>
|
||||
<p>The site's side-menu offers links to a few of my active GitHub
|
||||
repositories, as well as links to my social network profiles.
|
||||
Feel free to examine and use any of the code in my repos, so long
|
||||
as that use adheres to the WTFPL.</p>
|
||||
<p>I try to keep this site as minimal and useful as possible. I've
|
||||
enjoyed the most recent re-structure, as it has allowed me to
|
||||
use only HTML5 and CSS3. As more web-techologies arise, I look
|
||||
forward to exploring their uses and employing them on this site.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Internet Vagabond is a simple website I use for the rare
|
||||
blog posts I make, information about me and the projects I work
|
||||
on, and a digital plot of e-land. It is programmed as much in
|
||||
HTML and CSS as possible, and designed with a small footprint.
|
||||
The site is hosted on GitHub, and utilizes Jekyll for further
|
||||
organization and optimization. If you're interested in more
|
||||
technical details, check out the GitHub Project page for this
|
||||
repository. You can easily get to it via the menu on the right.</p>

<h3>About the Vagabond</h3>
|
||||
<p>I like to consider myself a citizen of the Internet. I enjoy
|
||||
gaming, philosophy, and technology in general.</p>
|
||||
<p>I enjoy all sorts of gaming, be it table-top or computer.
|
||||
Thanks to the advent of Steam on Linux, I've been able to
|
||||
maintain my Linux desktop while enjoying some very great games.
|
||||
Currently, my largest time-sinks are Dota 2, Guild Wars 2, and
|
||||
an assortment of independent titles.</p>
|
||||
<p>My name is Bill Niblock, and I consider myself a citizen of the
|
||||
Internet. I'm a computer scientist by education, a technologist by
|
||||
trade, a gamer by hobby, a philosopher by choice, and the list goes
|
||||
on.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I earned my degree in Computer Science from SUNY Geneseo in the
|
||||
state of New York. There I developed a great appreciation for clean and
|
||||
efficient code and systems. I learned how to develop on bare-bones
|
||||
systems, surviving purely on a Terminal in Linux for a few years of my
|
||||
studies. I discovered the magic of Lisp, tail-recursion, and intricate
|
||||
code. It was there I also wet my appetite for Git, and it's incredible
|
||||
power. From school I moved on to work for a small local college as a
|
||||
Sys-Admin/Tech Support/Hardware Specialist/Software Developer/Network Guy.
|
||||
After several years of learning all about everything there, I snagged
|
||||
a sweet job working for Yahoo in the Operations Center, where I help
|
||||
monitor and support all the circuits and servers that keep Yahoo up
|
||||
and running. Thus far, I've expanded my Linux knowledge incredibly, and
|
||||
have developed a stronger understanding of coding with a group, utilizing
|
||||
Git and GitHub for stronger development, and a fascination with Ruby. I
|
||||
look forward to all that Yahoo has to offer, in the bottomless source of
|
||||
knowledge and experience that the awesome co-workers I have there have to
|
||||
offer.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Ever since the early 90s I've loved gaming. Whether table-top,
|
||||
role-playing, or computer gaming, I adore it. I began my journey as a
|
||||
young lad who's mother installed Commander Keen and Doom 2 on our family
|
||||
computer. From there, I worked my way through Starcraft, Baldur's Gate,
|
||||
Neverwinter Nights, and so many more before getting my first laptop in
|
||||
high school. Then Steam happened, and now I play more games than I can
|
||||
remember. With the advent of Steam for Linux, I've been able to suppliment
|
||||
my love and fascination of Linux with my passion for gaming. I've
|
||||
settled on a few specific games of note: Guild Wars 2 is my MMO of choice,
|
||||
and both it and it's predecessor have offered me many hours of exploration
|
||||
and wonder. Dota 2 has stolen a lot of my free time, as have Counter
|
||||
Strike and Team Fortress 2. Then there's the myriad of independent games
|
||||
which round-out my gaming library, and help to eat all my free time.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Technology and gaming join philosophy to create my tri-force. I consider
|
||||
an understanding of our environments, our actions and the consequences of
|
||||
actions to be key to a fruitful life. My first experience with philosophy
|
||||
came about through church, and more specifically through a youth group which
|
||||
met Sundays during mass. There we discussed topics, albeit with a religious
|
||||
undertone, but with an emphasis on understanding and openness. It was an
|
||||
expereience which helped lead me down a path of further exploration.
|
||||
During high school we touched on the "big names" or philosophy, but it
|
||||
was in college where I discovered the philosophy which best fits my
|
||||
understanding of the universe: Stoicism. To be brief, the ancient Stoics
|
||||
put emphasis on rationality and logic, seeking an understanding of their
|
||||
actions, consequences and environments through observation. For simplicity,
|
||||
think of the Vulcans from Star Trek. Stoicism is much more than just Spock,
|
||||
but for now, I'll leave it at that.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I have many hobbies, and am fascinated by the universe we find ourselves
|
||||
in. I hope to explore many of these through this site, and look forward
|
||||
to understanding and exploring topics both new and old.</p>
