3 [Oper.io](https://oper.io) is my contribution back to the world's largest
4 knowledgebase in history: the internet. Here I document my various experiences
5 with technology and anything else I care to write about.

7 I also publish the majority of my personal code
8 [here](https://oper.io/src/nullspoon). If you're interested in contributing to
9 anything, send me an email (see below) with a pull request and we'll start
10 working together.

15 ## Who Am I
16
17 My name is Aaron Ball. Relevant to my profession, I am a Linux engineer and
18 programmer with an unending curiosity to understand any and all systems. I love
19 reverse engineering systems and trying to find more elegant solutions. Those
20 things combined enable me to write or assemble software that automates just
21 about any infrastructure task that is needed. I also love automating my own
22 tasks as home (such as programatically fighting off botnets from my servers!).
23
24 Not relevant to my profession, I love studying spoken languages (English,
25 Spanish, Dutch, French, Icelandic, Finnish, you name it), rock climbing, hiking
26 our wonderful mountains here in
27 Colorado[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma) and swimming. I also
28 love coffee, beer, [whisky, and
29 whiskey](http://grammarist.com/usage/whiskey-whisky/).
30
31 I thank God routinely for all the engineers He has put on this Earth to
32 discover and make all the great things that have been made. The world is a
33 complex and interesting place and there's nothing like poking at something
34 until you figure out how it works.
