About Me
--------
Hey! I'm alex. I'm a programmer by day and sysadmin by night.
I used to co-admin this site with ~anthony when it was live.
Now I blog/phlog on my [personal domain](https://alexkarle.com).

I've kept this page live in case anyone is interested in reading
my "field notes" on how the tilde was set up!

**NOTE:** As of 2024 the garbash.com domain was decommissioned.
I've updated any URLs to alexkarle.com, but left tutorials
referencing it where appropriate. It's been snatched up by
domain squatters, so don't go visiting :(
