==== Who am I? ====

I'm Greg ~~"freephile"~~ Rundlett. freephile ~~means~~ "~~lover of~~ freedom" ~~like~~ "~~freedomphile~~" ~~would be~~, ~~except that in a moment~~ of ~~bad decision-making~~, I ~~chose to shorten~~ it~~; forever confusing~~ the ~~moniker with "~~free ~~file";~~ which is ~~not what it stands for at all~~.

I'm Greg Rundlett. ''freephile'' is a moniker I chose a long time ago combining the ideals of "freedom" and the Greek "philos" to represent my affection for things like free thought, freedom of expression, free knowledge, freedom from oppression. I think it is unfortunate that the free software revolution which started in the mid 1980's is pretty much dead and captive to 'open source'.

==== Why this website? ====

Wiki technology is almost as old as the web itself <ref>(and like everything else under the sun is based on earlier works http://c2.com/cgi/wiki/wiki?WikiWikiWeb)</ref>. It's incredibly powerful. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia] is a relevant example. This site serves as a showcase for some of the [[features]] and capabilities of the '''MediaWiki''' platform that powers Wikipedia.

==== What do I do with my time? ====

~~While online~~, I~~'m busy keeping up to date on roughly a dozen different high-profile [https://fsf.org Free Software] projects from PHP to OpenOffice~~ to the GIMP. [[Interests]] describes some of the technology, hardware and/or software-related things that occupy my time. While offline, I'm busy with my two sons or working on projects around the house and yard. I enjoy organic gardening and photography. As often as possible, ~~I take off into the~~ woods, trails, and mountains to enjoy ~~the~~ swimming, hiking and ~~scenery of New England~~.

When not at work, I take to the beaches, woods, trails, and mountains of New England to enjoy swimming, hiking, disc golf and scenic motorcycle rides. My [[Interests]] also include organic gardening and photography.
