Rob Savoye
I'm a self-employed computer consultant working out of my house here
in the mountains of Colorado. For many years I lived and worked at
Caribou Ranch (the old recording studio), but I recently had to move
to make way for a housing development. :-( Now I'm outside the town of
Rollinsville, CO, up on top of
this hill. I specialize in development tools (compilers &
debuggers), operating systems, graphics, networking, embedded systems,
systems administration, system programming. I'm also a long-time
GNU/Linux hacker, and member of the GNU project. Email me if you have any projects
that could use my assistance. The main Free Software project I'm the primary
maintainer of is DejaGnu, the GNU regression testing
framework. Current GNU projects in development are GnuAE, a design
tool for alternate energy systems, TraceGUI, a user interface for
Trace interters, and AbelMon, a power management system for off grid
houses. For more detail on my technical background and projects, go to
my company page for Seneca Software
and Solar.
Rollinsville is a small town of about 150 people in the Front Range of
Colorado.
Here's a few pictures of my old place if you want to
see what it looked like. Here's the new house.
For those that must see what I look like, here's a fairly
(2011) recent picture.. I like the old picture
though,(1994) so that one is still here.
- Road Trips
- I really love road trips, Ever read Jack Kerovac's "On The
Road" ? I used to do tours with the Grateful Dead, plus the epic
climbing trips too. I scanned in some photos from some of my various
trips if you'd like to see what I do for fun.
- Outdoor Sports
- Among my interests (other than computers) are outdoor sports, namely
Climbing, (rock, ice, winter mountaineering, caving, etc...), Snow
Shoeing, Sking (backcountry and Cross Country), kayaking, and
rafting.
- Alternative Living
- I'm also a long time Dead Head, and a Rainbow
Family focalizer. I'm a supporter of the home and community, hence
I believe strongly in home-birthing, home-schooling, building
community, and an active, healthy life-style. I also think that
striving for low-impact on the planet and self-sufficiency is a good
thing.
- Computer Related Stuff
- As far as computer passions go, I'm heavily into embedded systems,
realtime OS's, graphics, FREE software, and Community access to
Internet. I'm also the author of DejaGnu, the GNU testing
framework, and Libgloss, the GNU BSP package, and primary maintainer
of Nilo, the GNU network boot loader.
- Alternative Living Technologies
- This is a collection of information on appropriate technologies
for waste processing, power generation, greywater, domes, and
greenhouses.
- Cisco Ad
- I've long had a Cisco 2000 router for my net connection, which has
survived almost 12 years of what passes for electrical power around
here. So when they asked me to do an ad, I thought I'd return the
favor. This was published during April, 1999 in Japanese newspapers.
