Grey-Bearded Geek

My name is Rich Freedman.

I live in historic Lambertville, NJ, USA, and I’m a software architect in the Philadelphia, PA area, working for Chariot Solutions, a Java / RoR / Mobile Consulting Company.

I've been developing software professionally for over 20 years, initially in C and C++, and have been specializing in Java development since the early days of version 1.2, and web development for about as long as the web has been in existence (remember archie, veronica, and gopher?).

I'm also an avid GNU/Linux user, and have been using Ubuntu as my sole development environment for several years.

The majority of the content here is likely to be about software (mostly Java) and Linux but I like to cook, so you’ll also find the occasional recipe here as well.
