Martin Chase
Biography
After 4 years spent herding volunteers as Free Geek’s head programmer, builder and sysadmin (from PHP to RoR, Woody to Ubuntu, shelves of Pentium2 servers to racks of virtualization), Martin was replaced by a 15 year old who could do all the same work better and cheaper. Accepting the change as inevitable, Martin then took a year off paid work to make sure everything was where it was supposed to be (and it was right there, just like I had hoped). Now he seeks to apply advanced rationality practices to human behavior, government, curry sauce, table tennis – whatever doesn’t run away screaming, really.
