About Me
My name is Trevor Wilson. I am a software developer and independent contractor residing in Edmonton Alberta, Canada. I have been developing software professionally since 2001 and graduated from the University of Alberta in 2005 with a major mathematics and minor in computing science. One thing that I love about being an independent contractor, is that over the years I have worked for lots of different companies which has allowed me to contribute to a large variety of exciting projects written in many different languages. I have had the pleasure of working with so many wonderful teams who’s members have taught me a great deal.
About This Blog
This blog is not new. Previously it was hosted by WordPress, but then I discovered the wonderful world of static site generators such as Jekyll and Hugo. I loved the idea of blogging directly in Emacs org-mode and managing my blog in GitHub. I chose Hugo over Jekyll only because with Hugo I did not need to install Ruby, which I have no other need for at the moment. I considered migrating my old blog from WordPress to Hugo, but in the end I decided to just start fresh.
I intend to blog about Emacs, Linux, programming, infosec, robotics, side projects and teaching my children to code :-)
My Interests
- editor: Emacs
- Linux distro: Gentoo
- windows manager: exwm
- file system: Zfs on Linux
- language: this is a tough one. I love so many languages :-). Since most of my professional life is immersed in .Net C# I will probably focus on exploring python, lisp, C/C++, Go, Rust and assembly throughout this blog
- dev machine: Alienware 17 R4
Blogs I enjoy reading
