Hello all! Greetings from the lonely world of RTC Prison in Lincoln Nebraska. I am an imprisoned sysadmin looking for someone to nerd out with! I am doing 30-40 years (15-20 with good behavior) for 2 counts of manslaughter. Like quite a few sysadmin before me, I succumb to the stressors of a 80 hr work week (along with a good dose of mental health struggles) and developed a strong addiction to alcohol. While on a trip to Lincoln Nebraska to enroll in classes for Fortinet Firewalls, I committed my crime(vehicular manslaughter) and here I sit. I'm 7 years in as of September 21, clean and sober(be a bit more medicated and fat) and actually quite happy.
I work at a Print Shop here where I help maintain the aging PCs, as well as do graphic design. I have also taken it upon my self to learn c/c++, python and visual basic/SQL. Using the latter I have written a rather successful software suite that runs our shop and keeps track of orders, work flow, customer data, etc. It also produces reports, sales figures and just about any metric we need to tune our workflow. It has been a joyful experience.
Anyway, I am looking forma fellow IT buff to communicate with. I really enjoy *nix based o/s design as well as FOSS in general. I have a subscription to Linux format and maximum PC, as well as just about every book I could find on FOSS, c/c++, *nix, etc. I am currently reading "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" by the great Andrew Tannenbaum and am really intrigued by the genius that is the *nix/c language philosophy. As a former Windows admin, I had just really gotten into the FOSS community a few years before my crime. So if you are into those subjects and are willing to entertain a lonely sysadmin sitting in the middle of the insanity of a maximum security prison, let me know! The easiest way to do so is to do the following:
Contact the kind gentleman who made this post and inquire about getting ahold of me. As I think its probably unwise to post my personal information on here, we might vet you just a smidgeon(to reduce the risk of the occasional Nigerian prince). The most convenient method of contact is through a webpage, although snail mail is also welcome. Quite a few of us are still old school up in the pen. Anyway, I appreciate your time and keep up the skills, remember to take time away to relax and decompress from the stressors that can be e world of IT, and of course...don't drink and drive.
TLDR; Lonely Sysadmin in prison needs a sysadmin penpal.
