Who are you?

<— That’s me, Pamela Dingle. I have a company called Bonsai Identity, and I work as a systems integrator, Identity Architect, open source chick and quite a few other things.

Are you sure you’re an Optimist??

I really am. I don’t bother to rant about software I don’t respect and recommend. I hate to see a good quality product sunk by marketing, or by the installation script, or by poor communication with partners or customers.

In other words, if I didn’t really believe that the world could be a better place, I wouldn’t bother trying to change it.

Why should we care what YOU think?

Feel free to care or not. I’m just enjoying this whole blogging thing.

What else should we know?

I am a girl. I am a geek. I am Canadian. I am married. I am a programmer by education, and a UNIX sys-admin by early training. I have an open source project called the Pamela Project, where I write code around information cards.  I have been known to play a certain field game which involves a disc (aka a frisbee). I am an amateur webmaster in my spare time, and sometimes I try to take pretty pictures with my D-SLR.
