About

My real name is Scott Ritchie, and I have many interests.  I created this blog to talk about my work.

Software Design and Testing:

I am an Ubuntu developer and free software designer.  I focus on usability, automated testing, and performance. The most important project I work on is Wine.

Teaching and Speaking:

I am not averse to public speaking.  I’ve presented at conferences and been the subject of Slashdot articles. I worked as a teacher and private tutor for 5 years and am available for guest lectures if you’re local.

Writing:

I write for fun, mostly nonfiction.  Everything from blog posts to essays to technical documentation to Wikipedia articles.

Voting Systems and Economics:

I have an economics degree, and am strongly interested in voting systems. One day I may write a book about them based on my own software simulations.
