Ben Hall's web space
Hello! I am a Systems Specialist in the School of Computing at Queen's University.
My duties primarily consist of looking after the School's teaching facilities as well as supporting researchers here in the School. lately, I've also been maintaining the School's website.
If you have questions about Linux, Mac OS, PC hardware, odd Unix-like hardware, web development, "the network", or how anything around here works, feel free to ask. If I can't help you I'll try to point you in the right direction.
I'm not just about computers!
- We've gone on some cool trips
- I love music...
- ... and playing the upright bass
- I'm a part of the Williamsville neighbourhood
- and am part of the Kingston Jazz Society.
