My scratch pad

My nickname MrZaius was derived from DrZaius, but there were far too many collisions on IRC, and I'm tired of people who haven't seen the film asking if I'm an M.D. (Note: I still use GNU/DrZaius on occasion, but it's a bit of a mouthful, and I am not free as in beer, nor legal to clone.) I can usually be found on Freenode in #KCLUG, the Kansas City Linux Users Group.

My real name is Sean Crago. I started out at William Jewell College, where I developed a 250-120 win/loss record in Starcraft. Needless to say, I soon found it necessary to grow up and start studying, which was done at Wabash Valley College & the University of Southern Indiana. In the spring of '04, I did a stint as a foreign exchange student at Luleå Tekniska Universitet to get some harder coding courses under my belt (realtime programming and compilers). In 2005, I graduated from the University of Southern Indiana with a Bachelor of Science in computer science, with political science and economics minors. I've sat on four different committees at various Model United Nations simulations, and, in 2006, I enjoyed the honor of serving on staff at the American Model United Nations in Chicago.

I've moved around a fair bit (Houston Texas, Douala Cameroon, Liberty Missouri, Luleå Sweden) but consider Mount Carmel, IL my home. Mount Carmel is a city of ~8,000 people in Illinois where, I kid you not, Alan Keyes won some ~87% of the votes in the 2004 United States Senate race. However, there's a great deal to be said for living in a town where every basic need can be met at shops not a half mile from the center of town. Yay pedestrianism!

In 2006, I worked for a rural WISP out of Evansville, Indiana. We operated over the MDS/MMDS spectrum, and divided up into ~29 TV channels and broadband Internet. I eliminated our Microsoft Windows-based servers in favor of stuff we can afford. Being poor, "stuff we can afford" refers to open source operating systems, DNS servers, and mail transfer agents like GNU/Linux, bind, and postfix. The spectrum was sold to Sprint-Nextel for their WiMAX roll-out, and all other assets were sold to another, smaller, local WISP. I am currently in the employ of a managed hosting company that deals heavily in application hosting and server colocation. I moved back to KC, just a couple of feet from Gladstone city limits, for that position, which I found through the KCLUG.
