A reference from a follow-up with a recent client, Stephen Chowning, owner of The Rot Doctor in Seattle, WA:
"Everything is great here. I want to thank you for all your hard work. I haven't worked with a lot of programmers, but I have worked with enough to know that you are much better than average. You worked diligently on my problem, worked on my schedule, not yours, and fixed a thorny problem well. I couldn't be happier. Please feel free to use me as a reference."
Zee Random Quote:
I run and maintain a Linux Fedora Core server to support my own domains, used for promoting my free-lance consulting work, consulting development, audio & studio businesses, and hosting a number of Web sites, for local non-profits I volunteer with such as my local neighborhood association (BWNA), and home pages for several local bands who I provide music production, manufacturing and distribution for. I do not offer any professional services or hosting.
Up until early 2004, the entire server was run off an old, donated P-166 named "Adam". You can see a photo homage to the poor guy here, right before he was shipped off to Goodwill: The Little Server That Could, Until He Got Old and His Fan Crapped Out and He Was Forced Into Retirement.
Circa 2005, I went through a couple more old machines about every six months until I finally just bought a new Dell, which I hope would last 10 years. That server ran Fedora Core 2 on a dual Pentium-4 2.8Ghz processor Dell Dimension 4700 w/65 GB disk and 512MB memory. But Dell machines aren't anywhere near the quality of the mid-to-late 1990's Optiplex series, like the one from 1995 I'm typing this on right now, so I ended up building my own machine from components from Fry's... and have a custom-built Pentium 4 - 3.2GHz processor with 2GB memory and about 800GB disk space on the current server, which I hope will become a game machine some day.
Meanwhile, I have built a Fedora Core 7 box with similar specs that I will either slowly have take over the services of the current one or will swap in if this one dies, although having built it myself, I bet it might last a decade or more, like, um, Dell machines used to. :)
