about me

John M is a Linux fan in Lowell, MA.

I work at at a company writing software. I fool around with Free and Open Source software for fun & profit.

I was big into Last.fm and you can still see some of what I listen to there. I can also be found using github and recently sourcehut as well as bitbucket (historically). I don't care for most popular social media sites. If I have an account on one or the other it's probably either old and unused or was created just for tinkering.

Links to things I like, use, or otherwise feel is worth sharing. Things I'd like to see get more popular.

Rocket City Riot

Hello. I was browsing through audio scrubber, and found that you are listed as the top fan for "Rocket City Riot." My nickname is "Big King" and I played drums on Rocket City Riot's album "Pop Killer." I was with that band for 2 years, and they still have my pictures up at the magnatune site. I just thought it was cool to know that people are listening to an album that I played drums on. If you'd like to discuss anything music related, hit me up at: aslimak@gmail.com

Culinary Ignorance

Mark sounds like a real moron. How could someone who claims to watch the Phantom Gourment not know the difference between calimari and onions?

Thank you so much

Man, you made my day! I had exactly the same problem and finally got it to work now after reading your post.
