Trained in C, familiar with C++ and Java, spent the last 10 or so years mostly in scripting (perl, shell, etc) with a little php/ajax/js on the side. I've been running linux on just about all my systems for over 5 years, and at least partially using it since '95, mostly with Debian and now Ubuntu. Lately I'm getting back into a project using C, maybe Lua, front end with php/ajax/js, and who knows what else.

Outside of the techie stuff, I enjoy photography as a hobby and do a lot of home repair both on my own home and with the local Habitat chapter. For fun, I strap the bare necessities onto my back and enjoy a weekend of backpacking.

 comment How can I install modern locksets on these interior doors?
@NiallC. true, but many of the answers will help with making the new hole. So perhaps we should focus on how to patch the existing hole with this question?

 comment Is it safe to use bleach around the yard?
This is more about how plants survive bleach than the process of bleaching the deck, so we're migrating over to G&L.
