About Me: My name, almost everywhere on the Internet, is B-Con, but some people know me by Beacon, and still others by Bitwise. Out in the so-called "real" world, my name is Brad CONte, but as of the moment it's only unconfirmed rumor -- I have yet to obtain proof of it. I spend most of my time on my computer reading articles, writing programs, writing essays, or surfing forums. When I'm not on my computer, I'm probably reading something by Bruce Schneier, Dave Barry, or Scott Adams. I love reading, but usually don't read anything that's not technical or humorous. I live in the USA, in the fine state of California. I live in a somewhat rural area, just minutes outside the closest actual suburb. I'm as computer geeky as they come, and a huge security nut.
