It's pronounced "SEY-ton." My real name is Dante. Dante is never available for online handles, but things that start with 'ps' always are.

I live in West Hollywood, where I telecommute to a job I used to do in Boston. I do high-end tech support for server automation software. I like Prussian blue, teal, and cranberry.

I moved here because my then-fiancee, now wife of a year, got a job as an art curator. She is originally from New Hampshire and I am originally from Utica, New York (about 250 miles northwest of Manhattan). We have two cats that are way too photogenic.

I really miss doing radio. I mean, it was like heroin. I have an epic knowledge of the history of music and comedians. I tend to change which station I stream twice a day, so I'd love to know of a few that others like for eclectic stuff.

I build computers, learn stuff, write, cook. I have an obsession with subways, streetcars, and bridges.

I was on a trivia show for three years with cwenham.

I had never worn metal jewelry until the day I got married. I had chicken pox twice, but never with a fever. Thus I am terrified of getting shingles. I had mono back in '99. I drive stick, as various gods intended. I like geuze.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm 38... and a half.

    I do high-end tech support for server automation software.

I'm in that world, kind of. Is it in-house automation or you use something like SCCM or another vendor tool?

BladeLogic. I'm the patching specialist.

I also supported ClearCase for 2.5 years, so I know my version control too.

Nice. I work in IT infrastructure too. I'm a server guy, but I do web infrastructure/architecture. So I'm mostly staring at IIS XML configs and arch diagrams throughout the day. We use a lot of automation for our patching and deployments, and we use SCCM, which isn't the greatest. We have to add in a high level of powershell scripting to get it to actually do what we want.

Oh you're one of the few people who is close to me! I live in Redondo Beach!

Sweet! I need more friends in the real world. I don't get out of the apartment enough. We could geek out. Ping me at gmail.
