Paul-redrock-videotakings.jpg Paul Gorman, known as Presence on the Internets, started off with a TI-99/4a and assembly language, progressed to a 2-line Renegade dial-up BBS, and graduated to running his own web hosting service. Was part of the crew that made the top level country-code domain ".ws", hacked a voicemail system together with Dialogic cards before Asterisk even existed, and can solve any problem anywhere by somehow applying MySQL.

Now Presence spends as much time as possible with video and stage projects, with the last 5 years as the lead video production monkey in a local casino. Currently, as an "independent contractor" for any type of technical gig, Presence finds time to work on personal hobbies: small electronics projects, programming, and video/photography shoots/edits.

Maintains a friends/family FreeBSD webserver at http://irev.net/
Rockbox on iPod, Linux on ARM, NetBSD on SGI o2, Mac OS8 on LC580, AVCHD on Premiere CS4, Home brewed hard apple cider and meads.

Presence hopes to discover and take on new technical and artistic challenges, assisting others with their projects, and be presented with new ideas and technologies.
