Who am I?

I currently work as a consultant in the Birmingham, Alabama area (USA). I live with my wife and our son and daughter. Besides working with computers, I am a great lover of music and the outdoors. I ocasionally give talks at conferences, and work on some of the software I make available on this site. I am in part an observer, explorer, scientist, mystic, teacher, student, romantic, fanatic, while I am in full, a father and husband.

This bio has been used for some presenetations:

Thomas Stover has worked as independent software engineering consultant for the last nine years, with a focus on open source technologies. He has spent much of the last 6 years in the industrial automation and SCADA problem domain. In particular, rebuilding and maintaining a large scale cellular backhauled hydro and meteorological monitoring network with embedded Linux systems. He is currently trying to evangelize his fascination with penetrating the ultra-proprietary industrial control systems space with open source tools and ideas.
