Welcome to my no-so-private wiki page. The content was becoming quickly outdated and I decided to start from scratch. I may transfer some of the old content, but just be cognizant that this is in the spirit of starting anew. Last several years of my life have been focused around developing a comprehensive data management system in health care, and this wiki may reflect some of the outpourings and other experiments.

I have also opened up the wiki for the general public -- hopefully for good -- albeit with much consideration. If you interests match with what you see here, please feel free to update, modify, or even add new pages. My forte is experimentation and applying new things, and not documentation.

Little about me: I'm a full-time coder, mostly on LAMP stack these days involved with both f/e & b/e engineering using Laravel (since its inception), Zurb Foundation, and starting to adopt more Bootstrap; a F/LOSS enthusiast who has been drunk with its wine since early 1990s, starting with Patrick Volkerding's early version of Slackware; more of an autodidact with a history of tinkering in OS kernel philosophy with MINIX (that other OS), various Mach kernels, and lately Hurd, but I never have enough time to delve deeper; mobile/web app development has been more frequent in my horizon; had once mastered GW-BASIC down to PEEKs and POKEs, TASM, Turbo Pascal, and Turbo C; and had dabbled with MASM, C++, and Java. My favorite editor is VIM but I do have emacs installed as a backup (which I have not used yet.) Outside of computer screens, I'm a kendoka, a father with three children, and a reader.

I hope you find this wiki useful and please feel free to contribute.
