I have decided to update this section to more realistically reflect the site's spirit.
Dedoimedo is a site dedicated to computer education on a broad range of subjects, including mostly computer software and security, but also games, highly useful and unique websites, 3D modeling, and more. Furthermore, Dedoimedo hosts a range of topics that reflect my personal life, with random life topics laced with dark humor, some art, physics, and other hobbies and delights.
I will not spill my entire life here, obviously. But here are a few snippets: I'm 30, married with no known offspring. I am a physicist by education and profession, working in the medical imaging industry. My work expertise focuses on problem solving and algorithm development. To this end, I use Matlab extensively, mainly for signal and image processing. Furthermore, I'm certified in several major engineering methodologies, including MEDIC Six Sigma Green Belt, Design of Experiment, and Statistical Engineering.
I have recently focused bits of my career on Linux; more about that in the next section. My major hobbies range from all kinds of sports via art (drawing and painting mostly) to writing books; I have already written several books plus hundreds of short stories - I hope to publish them one day. They will feature on the site one day... I also speak 3 languages, stammer another 2 and can read 5 alphabets.
I most certainly do. I have begun my digital life with Commodore 64 and Spectrum ZX80 as a child gamer. Next came the XT and then a giant leap to 486. This is when I started taking interest in computers on a deeper level, with innocent hacking pranks in DOS. After that, I studied Pascal in high school for three years. My university put me through a semester course of C language. Since, I have delved deeply into a broad range of programming and numerical computation languages, both reflecting my professional needs and private passion. I dare say I'm quite proficient in Matlab, LabVIEW, BASIC, VB, HTML, CSS, RSS, BASH, and somewhat good in CVI and JavaScript. I'm always trying to learn new things.
I have been a "heavy" Windows user since about Windows 3.1, with most experience with post-NT releases. I am quite good at troubleshooting Windows problems, having helped many friends and acquaintances and even some IT profesionals improve their security, solve difficult problems, and recover from near-disasters, including loss of data, hard disk failures, infections etc.
My best achievement is saving someone's entire PhD thesis, worth four years of work - and no, no backup - from total ruin. To date, I have installed or recovered Windows on more than 100 machines; I have also gallantly saved critical data on at least 20 systems. While these numbers may not seem much, I am proud of each of my achievements, the same way a firefighter is proud of his rescues.
My Linux skills date to year 2004 with SUSE 9.2 (if I recall correctly). Since, I have tried dozens of distributions since, focusing on openSUSE and Ubuntu as my favorites. Today, I'm working on a book that will introduce Linux to the world in a way never seen before.
Recently, I have been qualified as Linux System Administrator, have successfully certified for LPIC-1 and am preparing for the second exam of the second international certification LPIC-2. After that, I'll gear up for RHCE, Novell CLP and probably even Ubuntu Certified Professional.
My cross-OS skills are interoperability between different systems, with emphasis on network-resources transparency, automation of tasks, scripting, virtualization, and LAN security.
These are only the computer-related certificates:
Not one measured in money. My goal is to enlighten people and make their online experience more enjoyable. The only payment I will cash in are the credits when due and your satisfaction. If my hosting costs skyrocket or if Dedoimedo becomes tremendously popular, I might add Google Ads.
Well, I guess not. That's about it. If you have anything else to ask, feel free to contact me. Meanwhile, enjoy your stay.
