This page is for people who search my name Lemnwezl because they want to know what I am like. It’s a fairly distinct name I’ve been using since the dawn of the commercial Internet.

Work

Computer Stuff

  • I like working on UNIX and Linux, typically a mix of ops, admin, and software

  • Also like working on pretty much anything with a CLI, like Cisco stuff.

Non Computer Stuff

  • Energy and Manufacturing fields. These are critical to our future, and I am working at a technician level to understand how these systems are actually maintained and serviced in real life in the USA.

  • Wind power. Process controllers, PLCs, hydraulics, electromechanical devices, industrial transmissions and power plants, engines, generators, pumps, motors, and stuff like that.

  • Anything big and industrial. I like working at heights and in confined spaces.
