"Epicanis" has been this correspondent's pseudonym on the internet for enough years to make him feel old and to make it an established enough identity to not want to change it now.

A self-described Penguinista with a long career as a compu-janitor/systems administrator, Epicanis is broad-spectrum, multi-purpose "Swiss-Army Nerd", with a B.S. in Microbiology, an A.S. in Chemistry, a quarter-century of continuous I.T. experience and a desire to escape the economic roach-motel of rural northern Maine, so if you're looking to hire, let him know.

You can find him on Twitter and Google Plus via his pseudonym, and at (among other places) https://hpr.dogphilosophy.net
