Dave Gauer

Howdy, I’m Dave Gauer. I’ve worked in web technologies since the late 1990s. Some interests: computer programming of all kinds, Linux/BSD/Unix, art, books (genre fiction, computing, history, biographies, art monographs), film, music (metal!), boardgames, and watching small creatures in the back yard.

I've installed Slackware 15.0 a lot in the last couple months. So I decided it was finally time to write up a page about the process (whether I'm qualified or not!) while it's still fresh in my head. This is how I install the only operating system that helps YOU get more life-giving SLACK and gain in POWER every...
I gave this talk at work today. It's full of amusing drawings and should still make a fair amount of sense without hearing my commentary. I've attempted to unlock what makes Forth *really* tick - from the what, to the why, to the how...

I just finished drawing 78 Tarot cards in 52 days. I'm not gonna lie, it feels good...
First follow-up to The Year of the Microcontroller. This "chapter" wraps up the first eventful week of my year-long foray into MCs. I think you (YOU!) will dig what became of that cardboard computer...
I'll be giving a presentation fairly soon and I needed something simple. So I made something simple in about an hour after work today...
Guess what? 2023 is The Year of the Microcontroller! Well, it is in MY house...
Whoooosh! That's the sound of me getting this done in the year 2022 so I have one less thing on my plate for 2023! I review six more book chapters and give my conclusions so far...
Two more OpenBSD chapters complete. The exploration continues...
My guided book tour of OpenBSD continues. Highlights include the ports system and /etc info. Nothing too exciting...
Wow! I just self-published a real physical illustrated children's book. I did the watercolor illustrations in my sketchbook in 2017, but it took until now to assemble the book and publish it through Amazon. This is so cool...
