Hi.

I'm familiarly known as Bill. I'm fairly active in the soc.culture.filipino usenet newsgroup, where I'm known as Boracay Bill. I've been living on the Philippine island of Boracay since retiring here 1996. My wife, Solina, and I used to own and operate a small Boracay resort/hotel called Michelle's Bungalows, but that was one of the several resorts destroyed in the Boracay fire of January 21, 2005. At present, I'm mostly a layabout. I did spend some time in 2006 putting up a Boracay website (www.boracayinfo.net), and I currently maintain that site.

Before I gave up working for a living, I had a long hardware/software engineering/technical career with Motorola. Even earlier, I was a Philco TechRep for about nine years, mostly doing contract work for various US Govt agencies in Vietnam during the unpleasantness there.

I was one of the early members of the Debian Linux project, working on the project for its first three years or so in 1993-1996.

Creating this Wikipedia user page seemed to me to be the proper thing to do after I found myself occasionally creating and editing various Wikipedia content pages.
