Strykar aka Avi

Hmm, etymology of my handle? Remember MK? Yeah, well, I played Sub-Zero.
It started off in my teens with immature cracker ideas but as I moved along
(read grew up), I found that too many people knew me by my handle and it stuck.
You need my name? Ask me.

I'm a freelance E-learning and networking consultant.
My skills lie in Instructional design, Linux packet filtering and the MTA Sendmail.
I have keen interests in everything Linux, OpenBSD and Tor.

Weird combination?
If I had a penny for everytime I've heard that..

Since I can't code to save my life it seriously hampers my ability to contribute
anything worthwhile to the community. On the other hand I do send in bug-reports,
write documentation and translations for various projects.

Besides my rants (read articles sometimes), my other interests include motorcycles
and mountain biking - on motorycles, not the kind with pedals.

If you've liked any of my articles, and some which aren't mirrored here are
on Hungryhacker, and want to talk or thank me, IRC is the place.

A great way to get on my good side is to send me a postcard of mountains in your country.
I've been sent beer via Paypal enough times, and have decided that those few dollars
would be better spent on a book from my wishlist.
No new hardcovers, used paperbacks in a readable condition only.

I'm agnostic, highly opinionated and rather gifted (read attractive).
