Notes: Warning:Talking to this developer may
leave your mind twisted, wondering about issues
of life, death, sexual orientation, gender
identity, leather, and mental institutions. Queer
as f--k, not for the
weak.

Disposition: An MtB (male-to-
butch), Leather, Woman, Queer-as-f--k, and
just generally geeky. Gee, not strange at
all.

Vocation:Former OSDN (formerly
Andover.net) Network Architect

Previous
Contributor to Slashdot

Ecartis/Listar Core
Team Member

FreeBSD contributor

BSD
Advocate

Previous Devil's Advocate Author
in Open Magazine

Emmy Award winner for ABC
Enhanced TV's Celebrity Mole: Yucatan Interactive
Application Life: I'm a contributor to
Open Source in many ways, being involved
with FreeBSD, being involved with Listar's
steering "Core Team", having been the BSD
section person on Slashdot, and I used to write
the BSD advocacy column for Open Magazine.
I'm currently in a resting state, as I have
way too much on my plate already. I have gotten
married, dovorced, had a kid, and life has changed. A
lot.

Hobbies: Well, besides all the
computer and open source related stuff I do,
I'm a actually a prolific musician, I write
music ranging from folk , to rock, to
progressive rock, to jazz. I'm hoping to start
recording my album around April sometime, so
I'll probably be writing a bit about this in
my diary. I'm not interested in making money
off music, so it will all be downloadable free
off one of my sites, in a modified BSD-like
music license, the terms of which I don't have
exactly written, but its kindof like
this:

Copyright 2001, Trish Lynch

This music may be freely-redistributed free-
of charge.

Samples may be taken,
modification may be made, covers may be
played, recordings may be sold, as long as the
original copyright notice and this license are
included with any hard material
given, ,bought, or sold, and digital media
contains this information at the distribution
site.

The Copyright holder may not be
held accountable if you hate it, think it
sucks, or it drives your girl/boyfriend away
from you.

Current Vocation: I run my
own company, Tridisha Networks

Its been an amazingly long time since posting. I have started to get back involved with open source, computing in general. During the time I was mostly out of the loop, I won an Emmy for interactive television, I got married, had a kid, and now I'm getting divorced. My leadership skills have taken me into another arena.

Life... is definitely busy.

So I know its been a long time since I posted here, and to be honest, I'm not sure how often I will be doing so.

I want to address something that happened very recently that has caused me to want to leave the FreeBSD community. In fact I pretty much have, except for the local user group.

I have been the target of attacks vs. my gender,my sexual orientation and my character on the FreeBSD lists, in which nobody has stepped forward to speak out against that sort of thing.

(except flata, but in her livejournal)

Its sad really, considering that there are several transpeople in the BSD communities, and plenty of gay people. So much for accepting eh?

Ok, so anyway, WebFirst turned me down, who knows why....

My references were sterling, I know that much....

Anyway, Camelot is getting off the ground, so I won;t need a FT job, I hope...

Other news... Angela is pregnant...which is a miracle, for those that know me, you know the story.... so I'm gonna be a Mommy :) Wish me luck!

-Trish

Waiting: So I'm waiting to hear back from WebFirst, a small company in Rockville. Sounds like interesting work, and I'd get to do a little more development than I've been used to in previous jobs. I know my references are pretty good (Thanks Kurt, Yazz, Steve Westmoreland), so I don;t see it as being a problem. I just want to start working ASAP.

If that doesn;t work out, I've got a contract doing some code and architecture review for a company that does software for a few large telecommunications companies. So that could pan out to be kind of lucrative, but the deal hasn;t been signed yet, and I'll find out more tomorrow on that. It sucks that I can have such a sterling resume, and have a difficult time finding a job. I think its because of my location. Too much gummint work here in Maryland. And no company is willing to sponsor Gummint Clearance nowadays, takes too long, and you lose money paying someone to sit on the bench for 3-18 months while the process happens. 2 years ago, no problem. This year, no way. *sigh*

Update: So its been a long time, I left OSDN in November, been struggling to get a small business off the ground with minimal startup, working more on Ecartis, and pretty much doing the same-old, same-old.

We moved to Maryland in Dec, and Angela and I are engaged to be married on Feb 2nd, 2003.

Besides that *shrug* not much happening
