Welcome, I am Tito Valentín!

Welcome, I am Tito Valentín!

Yo! Ok, I love to tinker! I'm not sure what to say about myself other than you'll get to know me by following my work here. I guess I'll dive in a tiny bit about me so here it is:

My first computer back in 1995 had Slackware v1 installed, though I later tested Windows 3.x and used Word Perfect along with Harvard Graphics! I didn't start with Microsoft Windows or Apple. It was painful learning Linux but it was an AMAZING experience!

In 2000, I graduated high school and I entered the enterprise world as a Solaris Sys Admin; thanks Uncle Ron for starting me early! I later became a Red Hat Sys Admin. I've been in the industry since then doing lots of fun stuff for different organizations and companies.

My passion, however, is in retro electronics (game consoles & computers), UNIX/Linux, as well as home automation. I'll share all of that here! I also do some car stuff so I may add a thing or two about that as well.

Oh, and if you care, my main computer is a System76 Thelio Major r2.1 running Fedora! I love FOSS! I also have a Mac and Windows rig, I'm pretty agnostic!

I'll end this self-description with, I have a passion for technology, especially taking a look back where things were to how they function today. I'm not a professional and don't pretend to be but I am passionate about the things I do.

I'm a big fan of Open Source Software and Hardware and UNIX/Linux will forever be my go-to for most computing things, where appropriate.
