EnigmaOne
Allan (EnigmaOne) was transplanted from the paradise state of New Mexico to California many years ago. While he currently resides in Long Beach, he considers the Coachella Valley (the Palm Springs to Mecca/Thermal region) to be the next-best thing to home. His wife, Annie, four children still at home, two 'children' in college and grad school, cat and irritatingly non-conversant fish give him comfort in his time of geographically-induced angst. He has been dabbling with Linux since the Red Hat Mother's Day release, finding it to be a nice change of pace from the proprietary Unix flavors of the era, as well as a step-up from DR-DOS; and has wandered the vast cross section of Linux communities that have cropped-up since that time. Allan has a broad-spectrum technical background with a major emphasis upon electrical engineering and systems analysis, and a minor emphasis upon programming. He is principally enamored with the vocation of teaching; and can be found pacing the room with a white board marker in his hand, occasionally scrawling numeric epiphanies on the nearest wall or monitor screen--repeating bad puns to himself and chuckling maniacally.
