About the server and my web space

This computer runs my web server, e-mail server, primary authoratative DNS server, and primary time server, among other software and protocols. Most of these web pages here are Lynx friendly and designed to last. These web pages are maintained in a simple way: manually as HTML. The goal is to just present information, views, software, projects, and some action opportunities. If there is something you would like for me to write about, either here or on a blog, you can e-mail me with your ideas.

McClure has administered servers since 2014, typically using free software POSIX compliant operating systems such as GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. In the past, he has also hosted servers and services using the Microsoft Windows Server operating system.

He is also the maintainer of GNUtrition, a free nutrition analysis software written for the GNU operating system. He has also worked with several people from the Free Software Foundation and GNU project, among other free software organizations and supporters, and plans to continue doing as some of his long-term commitments.
