I've been using this account as my primary for about a week now, and I'm think I'm settled on using it for the foreseeable future, so I guess it's time to do another #introduction post.
I'm a dad of four kids, and a web developer. I have a college degree in #Theater (or #Theatre) and had aspirations of being an actor. I kind of fell into web development as a career. It was a hobby back in high school, and I just needed to pay some bills after college, so I ended up doing this.
I always have aspirations to do other things, but for now, I'm pretty happy spending most of my time as a dad and husband.
Some day, I'd like to get back into #acting, or maybe do some #VoiceActing. I also enjoy #writing and will, from time to time, post some #MicroFiction, usually from somebody's #WritingPrompt.
I love #StarTrek, and usually watch at least one episode nearly every day. I like all #SciFi really, though, as well as #fantasy. I used to read a lot, but find I don't have as much time or mental capacity for it as I used to. I also enjoy watching #anime, and have really been enjoying the new episodes of #Bleach lately.
Feel free to follow me if you think we have similar interests, and I may follow you back, if I think likewise.

Hello kind people of Mastodon! Mastodon is a big part of my life, so I'm going to give finding work here a go as well.
I'm looking for a junior penetration tester or cyber security analyst role. Should you have any leads, or simply be able to provide info, please reach out.
To give you a thumbnail background sketch: I'm a former Lecturer in Anthropology pivoting to Cyber Security. I recently passed the #OSCP and loved it. I have interests in writing and advising to make pentesting more accessible, IoT pentesting, and purple team work.
While I am looking for a first role, I'm open to freelance, contract, and part-time roles.
Boosts will be noted and the favor returned in due course!
Thanks everyone.

American admiral and computer scientist, (designed COBOL) Grace Hopper was born #OTD in 1906.
She created the first compiler, the A-0 System, in 1952. She was also one of the first programmers on the Harvard Mark I computer. Hopper popularized the term "debugging" in computing after discovering an actual moth causing a malfunction in the Mark II computer.
I've been sharing context-free comic book panels of the day for years — but here are two panels for which the context is quite clear.

As most of you know, I am a special education teacher for students with emotional regulation difficulties.
In addition to all of the items I need for my classroom, each year, I plan a Winter Holiday feast for my students because sadly, most do not have any celebrations outside of our classroom.
If you can, please help. My classroom wishlist has grown. A boost helps too!
Our Holiday Party is EIGHT days away!!!

Wikipedia has a list of prime numbers, and it starts with this note:
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
Do people looking for a list of prime numbers think they'll be able to find a complete list? I feel like most people who are looking for a list of primes are aware that any such list will be incomplete.

I'd like to see an anthology series, like Short Treks, but full hour-long episodes. It'd be really cool to have full-length episodes that feature a new part of the Star Trek Universe every week.
An episode set in the Academy; Kahless's epic battle against his brother, Morath; Vulcan Science Academy; a musical episode where Q turns the entire Federation Council into a Broadway cast; Jean-Luc and Robert as children growing up on their vineyard. Yes to all of them!
