Nicholas Whittier is a developer who loves to figure out how things work. Whether it is an errant bash script, missing kernel drivers, CSS conflicts, a JRE incompatibility, an unsolved Rubik's cube, or anything in between, Nicholas wants to learn why it is broken and how to fix it.

Nicholas graduated from St. Johns College in Annapols, MD, where he read great books and captained the croquet team. In addition to lawn sports, he fancies GNU/Linux system administration, database administration, Java development, and web development. An open source enthusiast, Nicholas also loves to dabble in emerging technologies.

When he is not gallantly searching for the end of internet, Nicholas is boring his wife and two sons with trivial bits of data he gleaned on his virtual travels.
