About me

Hi, I'm Jason Stidd. I am not sure what to say about me other than I enjoy writing software. I work at a medium-sized company building modest web applications. I also spent six years working on a research team that focuses on distributed computing in high-performance/research computing. I still work on that research team but things have slowed down now that funding has run out.

I started this blog to share my experience and because I enjoy writing (I'm not particularly good at writing, but I do enjoy it). I hope you find it helpful, or at least entertaining, as I learn about a wide variety of topics.

I have a BS from Northern Arizona University and am slowly working on an MS is computer science at Georgia Institute of Technology. They have an excellent and challenging online master's program they refer to as OMSCS, which I highly recommend if you're looking into getting your master's degree in computer science. So far, I have taken classes in operating systems, advanced operating systems, compilers, software analysis, networking, distributed computing, and intro to Research. I'm currently taking database implementation.
