Hello! If you're here it's because you're reading it over gopher! I *could* give you the same about-me that I give over HTTP, but I think gopher travelers deserve a bit more of a personal introduction :) My name is Alex, and I'm a programmer in the Boston area where I live with my wife, our son, and our two cats. I'm in my late-twenties and working at my third post-college tech job at a remote startup. A true nerd at heart, I spent a large portion of my free time these past few years browsing gopher, setting up mail servers for the fun, trying out every editor under the sun (vim, ed, emacs, sam, acme), and flashing OpenBSD on random hardware whenever possible. Life turned upside down in 2023/2024 with a new home (and all the fun repairs homeownership brings) as well as the arrival of our baby boy <3, so things have quieted down on the nerdy hobby front for the time being. I hope you enjoy the gopherhole! If you find any of it cool, feel free to say hi at gopher@alexkarle.com . --- Last updated: Sat Aug 3 11:44:36 AM EDT 2024
