Rob Savoye

I'm a self-employed computer consultant working out of my house here in the mountains of Colorado. For many years I lived and worked at Caribou Ranch (the old recording studio), but I recently had to move to make way for a housing development. :-( Now I'm outside the town of Rollinsville, CO, up on top of this hill. I specialize in development tools (compilers & debuggers), operating systems, graphics, networking, embedded systems, systems administration, system programming. I'm also a long-time GNU/Linux hacker, and member of the GNU project. Email me if you have any projects that could use my assistance. The main Free Software project I'm the primary maintainer of is DejaGnu, the GNU regression testing framework. Current GNU projects in development are GnuAE, a design tool for alternate energy systems, TraceGUI, a user interface for Trace interters, and AbelMon, a power management system for off grid houses. For more detail on my technical background and projects, go to my company page for Seneca Software and Solar.

Rollinsville is a small town of about 150 people in thr Front Range of Colorado. Here's a few pictures of my old place if you want to see what it looked like. Here's the new house.

For those that must see what I look like, here's a fairly (1994) recent picture.

Road Trips: I really love road trips, Ever read Jack Kerovac's "On The Road" ? I used to do tours with the Grateful Dead, plus the epic climbing trips too. I scanned in some photos from some of my various trips if you'd like to see what I do for fun.
Outdoor Sports: Among my interests (other than computers) are outdoor sports, namely Climbing, (rock, ice, winter mountaineering, caving, etc...), Snow Shoeing, Sking (backcountry and Cross Country), kayaking, and rafting.
Alternative Living: I'm also a long time Dead Head, and a Rainbow Family focalizer. I'm a supporter of the home and community, hence I believe strongly in home-birthing, home-schooling, building community, and an active, healthy life-style. I also think that striving for low-impact on the planet and self-sufficiency is a good thing.
Computer Related Stuff: As far as computer passions go, I'm heavily into embedded systems, realtime OS's, graphics, FREE software, and Community access to Internet. I'm also the author of DejaGnu, the GNU testing framework, and Libgloss, the GNU BSP package, and primary maintainer of Nilo, the GNU network boot loader.
Alternative Living Technologies: This is a collection of information on appropriate technologies for waste processing, power generation, greywater, domes, and greenhouses.
Cisco Ad: I've long had a Cisco 2000 router for my net connection, which has survived almost 12 years of what passes for electrical power around here. So when they asked me to do an ad, I thought I'd return the favor. This was published during April, 1999 in Japanese newspapers.
