Read more about my professional life at [http://linkedin.com/in/elicarter LinkedIn] and my [wiki:Resume], but the one-sentence summary is: I am an [https://brickbuiltnameplates.com entrepreneur] and software engineer and I like developing with Python, working on Trac, doing Linux kernel and distribution development, and working with the Free/!OpenSource Software communities.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/retracile/ Photos on flickr] [http://stackoverflow.com/users/100073/retracile?tab=answers&sort=votes Answers on StackOverflow] 

I help [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/EliCarter maintain Trac].
(And I made a stab at a little project on [https://savannah.nongnu.org/users/retracile Savannah] that didn't go anywhere.)
You can also see my [wiki:Projects locally hosted projects].

While more active with the Linux kernel, I managed to say a few [http://kerneltraffic.europnews.de/kernel-traffic/quotes/Eli_Carter.html worthwhile things] and got a few [http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/v2.5/2.5.70.php#2570rmk1 changes merged].

I live in [http://www.cityofallen.org/ Allen, TX]; it's north of Plano, which is north of Richardson, which is north of Dallas.

It shouldn't need to be said, but for the lawyers out there: what I post here is my own and does not represent any employer, client, customer, etc, whether past, present, or future.
