Hello!

I am a 30 year old guy from Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. My real name is Darren Kirby, and I was born in Kamloops. I have also lived in Cache Creek, Edmonton, Vancouver/Burnaby, and Summerland. I am currently back in Edmonton for a while.

 
badcomputers!

My interests are:

  • Programming: Mostly Python, Ruby and PHP, though I am trying to teach myself C/C++ and Lisp.
  • UNIX: You know how junkies buy heroin? Well I buy computers, and install UNIX on them. I have 7 so far, 4 X86s running Gentoo Linux and FreeBSD, an Apple G4 running Gentoo PPC, an Apple G5 running OSX, and a Sun UltraSparc U60 running both Solaris and Gentoo Sparc64.
  • Photography: you can see my digi's. Some nice travel shots, but mostly just random debauchery.
  • Music: I play guitar, bass, and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on that makes noise. I have extremely diverse musical tastes.
  • Food and Drink: I have worked as a chef most my life and receive great joy from a brilliant home cooked meal and bottle of wine.

My Edits

I started with Penticton after finding my hometown unrepresented. I have noticed much of British Columbia is lacking, so I guess I will fill it in where I can find the time. I also started the Apex Alpine and Summerland page, and added some more sights to Vancouver. I have started Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, Kootenay National Park, Manning Provincial Park and Mount Robson Provincial Park

Places I've been

My most recent extended trip was from Penticton to Saint Stephen New Brunswick. During the 2 week long trip I put 12000! km on my poor car. Sometimes you need to be a tourist in your own country. Highlight of the trip was visiting Montreal. What a great city, I recommend it to anyone looking for a great time and great sights.

Places outside of Western Canada that I have been to (Don't laugh, from Penticton to Montreal is about the same distance as London is to Moscow. Makes for a long trip.):

Ottawa | Toronto | Niagara Falls | Kenora | Sault Ste Marie | Hamilton | North Bay | Sudbury | Thunder Bay
Montreal | Quebec City | Trois-Rivières
Saint John | Saint Stephen | Fredericton
Sault Ste Marie
Eau Claire | Madison | Wisconsin Dells
Minneapolis/St. Paul | St. Cloud
Fargo | Bismarck
Billings | Butte | Bozeman
Coeur d'Alene
Spokane
