"I Love Computers"

Ever since I was a little kid I have always loved computers. Growing up my father was a Main Frame Computer technician, back when business servers were the size of refrigerators and Tandy TSR-80 was the must-have machine.

    About Me

    The source of peace is within us; so also the source of war. And the real enemy is within us, and not outside. The source of war is not the existence of nuclear weapons or other arms. It is the minds of human beings who decide to push the button and to use those arms out of hatred, anger or greed.

    Family

    Hello, My Name is Adrian Altine, I'm 47 years old and live in Fort Worth, Texas with my wife Katie. We have been married for 23 years. Katie is a Real Estate. We are all so proud of her. My 17-year-old son Connor is a typical 17 year old never stops moving and enjoys playing with friends, Football, Shotput, and Wrestling lets not forget staring at his phone. His high energy has made him a hard worker and is looking to join the Armed Forces. My 13-year-old daughter Saige posses the unique gift of wrapping you around her finger from the moment you meet her. She is extra adorable and extra sweet. I believe her sweetness comes from all the candy she consumes. She is ridiculously photogenic and loves to play Volleyball, Shotput, and Wrestle. We also have two dogs. Buck is our oldest baby at 10 years old Golden/Lab Mix and then there is Gunner out Rescued Pitbull mix at 5 years old. They may look big and tough but is really a big cuddly bear who is scared of his own shadow. Lito ur scaly pet. He is a 2-year-old Bearded Dragon. He is a laid back guy who loves to hang out on someone's shoulder. Spike is great with kids and everyone loves to watch him eat crickets. We have been getting into other pets a couple of Kenyan Sand Boas, a couple Ball Python,Retuculated Python, Red Tail Boa, a couple gekos and assorted fish,  

    On the Side

    I have quite the busy life. When I'm not working you can find me spending time with my family, building/fixing stuff around the house, at my sons and daughters games or hanging out with my friends and neighbors. My latest adventure has been cooking I started in 2018 and now looking at a catering company. I Still do rapid prototyping and 3d printing. I'm constantly building and designing life hacker type items or the occasional fidget spinner. I have also started dabbling in home brewing. I brew beer for myself, wine for my wife and root beer for the kids. It's not only good fun but good science.
