Whoa, Buddy!
Welcome to my personal portfolio / website!

I have come across some amazing services along the way, and I not only use but highly recommend the ones below.

- Github (and Github Pages)
- Jekyll (which powers Github Pages)
- Backblaze (for backups and large file storage)
- Runbox (excellent email service)
- Blockstack (the future of the Internet)
Software: At the core of it all
Over the years I’ve switched between many different operating systems and as a result, I’ve always searched for software that is easy to use across various systems.
Here are some of my favorites that I use all of the time:
| Software Name | Cross-Platform? | Quick Descripton |
|---|---|---|
| Atom | Win/Mac/Linux | Text editor with a ton of features |
| Firefox | Win/Mac/Linux | Secondary web browser |
| GIMP | Win/Mac/Linux | Image editor with amazing abilities |
| GParted | Live CD (any) | Partition and file system management |
| KeePassXC | Win/Mac/Linux | Offline and encrypted password management |
| Syncthing | Win/Mac/Linux | File sync between multiple computers, no cloud |
| Thunderbird | Win/Mac/Linux | Email client, supports IMAP, aliases, identities |
| Vivaldi | Win/Mac/Linux | Chromium web browser without all the tracking |
| VLC Media Player | Win/Mac/Linux | The ultimate media player of all things |
Here are some Linux-specific items that are not cross-platform, but do have similar alternatives on other operating systems:
| Software Name | Alternate Software | Quick Description |
|---|---|---|
| Linux Mint | Ubuntu | Operating system with Cinnamon window manager |
| Redshift | f.lux | Color and Brightness management based on time of day |
| tcplay | Truecrypt | Truecrypt container creation and management |
