3monkeys

Hello, my name is Stacy Doss. Now before you go asking questions, Yes, it is a male name as well. I have been a programmer of some sort or another since the early 80's. I've had a variety of positions over the years, from working on the OS/2 project, to the development of AMD's K7, or as you may know it Athalon, to Open Source advocacy in the EDA and semiconductor industry, I have even tried my hand at my own consulting business. I fill my spare time with many endevours. Besides writing for 3Monkeys, I contribute to various other sites as well. I am a very active supporter of Open Source and Linux endeavors. You may also recognize my screen name on various social networking sites such as digg, Netscape and dzone. One particular affiliation I'm proud of is Socially Given. The love of my life is my darling daughter, Guinevere. It truly amazes me how quickly she picks up on things. She is now solving Suduko puzzles at the age of seven. She does not like to talk on the phone these days, something I will surely remind her of in the near future. As far as hobbies go, I am pretty simple. I have three fish, Pleco, never got around to giving him a real name; Tripper, a Jack Dempsey, and Felix, a Tiger Oscar. I have a Science Fiction/Fantasy book collection of well over 2500 books, and a coffee cup collection with over 75 mugs from around the world.

HP Blackbird 002 High Performance Gaming System Review

Gadgets & Tech – After HP's acquisition of Voodoo PC, many speculated that the company's entrance into the high-end gaming PC market was imminent. But since then, not much has changed. It seemed as if it was business as usual at both HP and Voodoo. HP was secretly working on their own gaming PC, however, and its codename was Blackbird.

Introducing DZone 2.0

Gadgets & Tech – Well, after months of development work, Rick and Matt have finally deployed their DZone site redesign to the production servers. It's been running on a dev server for a while now, whilst those of us "in the know" tried to break it or offer constructive criticism. However, I think we're all quite relieved that it's finally up at dzone.com.
