My name is Adam Carpenter (on some sites I'm 53hornet). I am a professional computer programmer and hobbyist mechanic, am married to my wonderful wife, Amy, and a puppy parent to Clementine, a Cocker Spaniel. This is my web site.

What Will You Find Here?

This site is my home on the web. I post things I've learned, things I want to share, and things I don't want to forget. I am generally interested in and generally post about:

• Antique automobiles, esp. my Fabulous 1953 Hudson Hornet
• Systems- and application-level programming
• Retrocomputing, esp. the Commodore 64
• Home servers and self-hosting
• FreeBSD and other *BSDs or UNIX-like operating systems
• Food: eating, baking, etc.
• Games, movies, and music

Disclaimer

The views on this web site are entirely mine! That should go without saying. They don't reflect my company, co-workers, friends, family, dog, or anyone I mention anywhere in any way.

I prefer not to go back and edit old posts. So when you're reading something from 2 years ago, that was my opinion 2 years ago. Times change and so can I, so please try to keep that in mind.

If I reference an external public profile or site as fact, I will do so with links so you can go and read the source.
