About

Hi, I am Andrew. I am a musician, functional tester, and free-software advocate.

This site is my online presence, and I just don’t use it all that much. I would like to say I’m going to add more content soon, but it is likely I’ll focus on other things (like playing music) instead.

Some topics I’ll be discussing:

I have been an advocate for free and open source software since the late ninties. With few exceptions I find Open Source operating systems and applications to be the superior choice to closed source competetors, and not just because the open source solution is often free (though that does help). I will probably expand on this in a later post.

I have been a musician of some sort for most of my life. My days of making money performing appear to be behind me, but I still enjoy playing and composing music.

Some things you will not find:

Most of my social networking pages are reserved for family and close friends. I do some tooting at sdf’s mastodon instance as ADW, but not much more.

I don’t belive in selling the personal information or viewing habits of visitors to my site to third parties. Additionally I don’t belive google needs my help to track your movements or develop advertising profiles on you. I will respect your privacy when visiting my site.

I’ve been world wide web user for twenty years. In that time I have rarely encountered an article online that was improved by the comments section. For now I’m not allowing comments here on my site.
