Yes I am old, been there done that
No i wont tell you how old I am.
And yes I worked of a Ph D in two fields but never finished either one.

I like to build hardware. I keeps my mind from tuning to clay. Truly my background is as a computer scientist not a mathematician. So my hobbies still include maintaining my alternative life 3D simulation game server, even though I don't have time to visit my friends using my photo accurate Alt-Life game character. To reduce expenses I have to build my own workstations and server Lately that has been my real hobby. All my workstation and servers use AMD FX series multi cpu chip sets with multiple Radeon GPU graphics cards. Currently all of my motherboards are ASROCK. The server runs 24/7 using UBUNTU (a distro based on DEBIAN). It serves up the game and my web pages. I hate to admit it but all of the machines I build are not on the bleeding edge. That is not affordable for a man retired ten years ago. But I have made a kick ass graphics workstation and web servers with FX CPUs and Radeon graphics cards.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
