Jason Hall

Jayce^

The moniker Jayce^ came about years ago.  It first started as a way to distinguish myself from all the other Jason's my age.  In one class alone there were 5 others.  Jas, Jay, etc. are often used, and I think the first spelling of Jayce came from a show called Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.  The carat(^) at the end came about in high school, during a Pascal class.  During my first experiences with pointers, I had some of the usual difficulties learning the subject.  After bringing down the 8088's we had, I was tagged with the Pascal pointer syntax.  It was nifty enough, that I started using it more.  Now it's the common nick/handle that I use online.

Tech

I'm a geek, that's the straight of it.  I'm an Open Source/Free Software bigot.  My favorite language is Perl, I prefer Linux on my servers, and most desktops.  I will go for an Apple OS X (unix base, pretty skin) system for desktops/laptops, but need my linux at hand.  While I have more experience with MySQL, I also use PostgreSQL frequently.

I'm currently President of the Provo Linux Users Group and a member of the board for Utah Open Source.

Paintball

Yes, I'm a more than avid paintball player.  Currently I play for Team DesertEdge on the 'A' team for SPPL and other Woodsball functions.  Based on preference I'm a backup for the Speedball tournaments.

Camping

If it wasn't for those darn geek gadgets, I'd be an old style frontiersman.  I love being in the boonies, living bare minimum.  Expect to see me climbing a peak, or kayaking to some primitive island during my vacations.

Social Networking

For various reasons I've set up profiles on most network tools.  Some are useful, others I detest (myspace).  But I'm there if you want to link:
