I am Keithius, and Keithius is me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More specifically, I am known<\/em> as Keithius (a.k.a. Keith M. Survell: keith@starkeith.net<\/a>, keith on Mastodon<\/a>) and StarKeith.net<\/a> is my personal site. I’m a proud geek, a bit of a security nut, a programmer by trade, and I tend to have some rather outspoken opinions. Since I am a geek, and I do like to write, I started this blog. Perhaps you’ll find it interesting – but more than that, I hope you find it enlightening<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who care about such things, let me offer you some personal facts: I was born in 1978 in Wisconsin<\/a>, I lived in Massachusetts<\/a> for many years, and I currently live in the lovely state of New Jersey<\/a> with my beautiful wife Amanda<\/a>, where we lived with our first pair of two adorable rabbits (who have sadly now passed on after 10 years with us<\/a>) and now our second pair of troublemakers<\/del> rabbits<\/a>. I graduated high school in 1997, and I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from Fitchburg State College<\/a> (now called Fitchburg State University).<\/p>\n\n\n

As a programmer, my languages of choice (at the moment) are .NET (I prefer the syntax of VB.NET over C# myself, but I am fluent in both) and TypeScript\/JavaScript. I used to write extensively in PHP, I’ve been known to dabble in C and C++, and while I can understand x86 assembly I’m not really fluent enough to write any extensive amount of code in it. <\/p>\n\n\n

I’m also a bit into digital photography, so expect to see a few posts about cameras, techniques, and the like, as well as some photos I’ve taken from time to time. (For those who like that sort of thing, my Flickr page<\/a> has all of my photos, conveniently organized for your perusal.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m no good at writing summaries – especially about myself! – so feel free to browse the archives, check out all the categories, and just… enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
