The dream-job is system adminstrator, preferably mainly Unix-like environment (no VAX, VMS, Micro$oft, ... ;-).
I am more inclined to improve/use existing technologies than to (re-)invent the wheel, as long as there is existing technology.
But if all fails or the old stuff is too cumbersome to come by or deal with, I'm all ready to go out to any lengths to make something work myself.

It's the perfect combination of tech exploration and social interaction for cooperation. ====== Preconfig for ease of use by defaults, security by locking.
