Stephanie Heck of Huntington West Virginia

This is the personal website of Stephanie Heck of Huntington West Virginia. Photography: As you can see I like to take a lot of pictures. The pictures on the left and right of this page are pictures that I take with my I-Phone that are instantly published by virtue of a link between my I-Phone and my server. The pictures are constantly being upgraded. I take pictures with my I-phone and 30 seconds later they are on my page. If you click on the thumbnail image you can see the full size picture. One must be a hard core computer nerd to have a correctly configured secure shell telnet emulator and an SFTP program built into the phone and integrated into the camera software.
In Huntington West Virginia that means I am just a wee bit slightly unusual. Currently, I am living in Huntington West Virginia, USA. The Huntington West Virginia area has its challenges when it comes to high tech. The local government does not know much about it, but they want to regulate it. I am interested in the future of WV. I am a native of Cabell County who has been gone for years before returning home. It is hard being a computer geekette in Huntington West Virginia. If most men in this area think you have a brain, they are absolutely terrified. When they find out your lingerie drawer is full of old hard drives and zip disks, they are even more terrified. We live in a world where women are required to repress intellect, and men required to repress emotion.....repression stinks, I pity androgynous people who are repressed from both sides. :-)
Professionally: I am a allegedly a hormonally challenged computer geekette, and an alleged programmer, or so I am told by those who don't send bug reports. :-) I evolved out of doing websites as my networking, programming, and system administration skills evolved over the years. These days I do a lot of router and network security stuff. Being as I write firewall code for Linux servers used to control spam. I am somewhat in demand. However I am a networking and LAN Manager with extensive experience at server management and network support. I manage a bunch of dot-com's and jokingly call myself a "server jockey". Humor: I have a really zany sense of humor but I am not often free to express it due to the large volume of stuffy people in this area who are in dire need of a personality transplant and a life. Above right is a casual picture of me. That is me in the red dress (John Dillinger's Nightmare) My motto is: "Life is like a typewriter, the broader you set the margins, the more that can fitted in the pages of your experience".
Philosophy: I confess there are a lot of slightly less than brilliant people who don't appreciate my unique perspective. If I wanted volumes of critique... I would call my relatives who have no shortage of radical opinions and conspiracy theories, and will be happy to repeat them all, ad nauseum. It is not easy to be an individual in a world of clones and George Bush impersonators that seem to infest the mountainous landscape of West Virginia. I have many friends who appreciate my unique perspective in a town that thrives on hyper-contentious retro-mediocrity. Some say I am talented. Some say I am silly and eccentric, but I am comforted to know that those who do not love me, are not likely to become rocket scientists and brain surgeons in the near future. I have a wacky and zany sense of humor that is not too bad for a Midol Addict, and that sense of humor comes from the great tenacity that I embrace life with. I actually have the guts to follow my dreams, and the strength of character to take the flack for doing so. It is alleged that am not plump, but my posterior, and my experience are allegedly broad, and well rounded. Lets just say that my posterior WILL NEVER be accused of suffering from anorexia. Politics: We vote for clowns and wonder why politics is a circus. I am a lifelong moderate Democrat, and some of my very small number of retro conservative neo-con friends have to be tolerant of me, simply because I just recently learned that "damned" and "neo-con" are two separate words instead of one phrase. I once had a Falwell type republican candidate come to my door looking for votes, he told me that he was looking for good republicans...I gave him directions to Spring Hill Cemetery. :-) Most Admired Woman: Mae West (She got paid to be herself. She was not acting.) Most Admired Man: Mahatma Gandhi (He conquered a huge country, and a foreign army, without firing a shot ). Quote of the day! " Good little girls go to heaven :-) Bad little girls are on a Lear jet flying to the French Riviera". Quote of the year: Ladies who wear low and sensible heels, find themselves buying their own clothes and meals. (Mae West)
