I was born at Georgetown University Hospital
in Washington, DC, USA on December 4, 1949
and grew up in Cabin John, Maryland, USA.
I have been communicating via computer
terminals since the 1970s.
If you want, you can check out my postings
on the
VMSHARE conference
in which I was active most of the 1980s.
(Most of my posts are associated with the
strings NOTE DLCRAIG and NSI/DAVE).
When ARPANET and BITNET started providing
mailing list services, there were more
lists I read and sometimes posted to than I
can remember, so good luck chasing down
those pearls of wisdom.
When the NSFNET contract requirement for net access was
lifted in the early ’90s, I procurred email services as
user dlc, first from digex.net for a few years,
then with radix.net.
Alas, after almost two decades of providing me incredibly
high price/performance ISP service (including CONUS dialup),
RadixNet announced it must go out of business at the end
of June 2013.
Thus, my official website at http://www.radix.net/~dlc
will go away along with my dlc@radix.net
email address—no forwarding.
The new website and email addresses,
http://dlc.casita.net/~dlc
and
dlc.usa@gmail.com,
are likely not going to produce many hits for awhile,
but they are mine.
These days I have been subscribed to the
various IBM mainframe and Debian listservs
and sometimes have things worth sharing.
Another technically oriented community I
have participated in for most of the aughts
was Nick Petreley’s
VarLinux.org website
that now seems to be MIA and possibly gone forever.
The type of subjects I tended to comment upon
at VarLinux are also commented upon at The
Register’s website that reports IT news
with a British focus. Visit
“El Reg”
if you want to register for the forums or
just look at
this sample (cleaned-up) HTML snapshot
of my posts there.
A while back I started a
LiveJournal blog
but starting in 2009 I just created a Note or
Wall post on my
FaceBook account
that I’ve had a love/hate relationship with and have kept it
deactivated for over half a year again (and probably will
keep it that way).
I do maintain a
Google+ personal presence
and a
Google+ employee presence
but have not posted much there.
I used to have a MySpace account, but now prefer
to send people to my
SoundClick
or my
OurStage
accounts to hear the only recordings I’ve
found the time to produce, as folks tend to
give me some feedback there.
However, MySpace recently spruced up its service,
so even though my account had been purged,
I created a new
musician’s account
and we shall see if I get active there.
Lastly, I had a small circle of artistic
friends via my now deleted deviantArt
account.
If you want to go fishing for me via a
search engine, I use dlc,
g1dlc, dlcusa,
dlc.usa, and dlc.earth as a
userid all over the place.
If I remember any other tips to help folks
check me out, I will update this page.
If you come up with any, please let me know at
dlc.usa@gmail.com
and I will add them.
