    About James

    I have been a photographer since the early 1970s. I have been involved with the real estate business for many decades and we often moved while I was growing up. San Mateo to Country Club Manor to Arden Park to Del Dayo Estates to Saratoga to Los Gatos to Iowa City to Chico,

    I have been involved with computers since punch cards. I have my own server with many domains, WordPress sites, email systems, SSL Certificates, and the rest. I have been a Microsoft Certified Trainer in the past teaching servers, Active Directory, and MS-SQL.

    I started with FORTRAN and COBOL on IBM Mainframes in the 70s to CDC CYBER 70 and PDP-11 and from there Tandy Zenix and TRS-80 and then SCO Unix. I have worked on Windows since V1 and was a Novell CNE from versions 2.15 to 5.x. I have worked on Ubuntu since Slackware downloading in the early 90s on Colorado SuperNet at 9600 baud. OS/2 was also fun.

    My main system is Windows 11 Pro Custom with dual M.2 and SSD and hard drives while Hyper-V hosts DirectAdmin running Ubuntu 26 LTS.

    I’m an active California Real Estate Broker #01443082 licensed since 2004 and an active member of Metrolist.
