Hi from North of Boston Massachusetts

Hi everyone,
I am a systems engineer doing a lot of modeling and simulation work.
My first language was Fortran 77, I have briefly used an ASR33 teletype and punched cards for program entry (using JCL)! Yikes! LOL
My early programming was on IBM 370 mainframes and DEC Vax 11/780 minicomputers. When the PC was introduced I got into Turbo Pascal, MATLAB, Turbo C, Forth, various assemblers, and ADA. Later on I learned Perl, Bash and other system tools and languages. Oh yeah, I did some SQL and ColdFusion and JavaScript and HTML.
I stood up my first Linux server (as a for-profit hosting service) using Linux 2.2.x. Weird fact: my colocation site was on a third floor of a building where the first explosion occurred during the Boston Marathon bombing. Luckily I had long since left the world of physically colocating my own server so I had no need to try and enter that area.
So that's a bit of me. I use Linux servers at work, have one at home, and use some in the cloud. OS's are often either RedHat, Centos, or Ubuntu. A lot of my work these days is along the lines of micro-service architectures, containerization, infrastructure as code, etc.
It's nice to be here. Hopefully I can answer a few questions for everyone. I may even ask a few myself. :)
Cheers,
J.
