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 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. In 2023 we bought our first house and since then my time has been spent more offline--learning some basic home improvement like fixing leaky sinks, replacing light switches, painting, studying HVAC systems, etc. I hope you enjoy the gopherhole! If you find any of it cool, feel free to say hi at gopher@alexkarle.com . --- Last updated: Sun Nov 12 23:47:29 EST 2023
