There was a brief stint in the 1990s when I evangelized Linux on the desktop. Once OS X arrived I decided he wanted to get stuff done rather than doing work to get stuff done in Linux.\n\nWhen I am not far offshore doing robot stuff and mapping the seafloor, I can be found doing more mundane domestic dad type shit around his house and property. \n\nYou can follow me on Mastadon:\n[https://mastodon.social/@DarthAloha](https://mastodon.social/@DarthAloha)\n\n***\n\nThis is what ChatGPT had to say about me when asked:\n\nEric is a subsea engineer known for his work on the RV Petrel, a research vessel owned by the late Paul Allen. The RV Petrel, under Eric's technical guidance, has made significant discoveries, including locating the wrecks of the USS Indianapolis, USS Lexington, and the Japanese battleship Musashi. His expertise contributed to the ship's successful expeditions and the technological advancements used in deep-sea explorations.\n\nFor more detailed information, you can visit the [Wikipedia page on RV Petrel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RV_Petrel).","pronouns":"","is_following":false,"is_you":false,"following_count":1,"discover_count":0},"author":{"name":"Darth Aloha","url":"https://darthaloha.com","avatar":"https://avatars.micro.blog/avatars/2024/24/1627522.jpg"},"items":[{"id":"65083128","content_html":"
