Hello and Ad Tech

[R. Anthony Lomartire]

Hey guys,

Apologies for hijacking the other thread to introduce myself. I just wanted
to say hello and got a bit carried away. I haven't really participated in a
mailing list beyond lurking.

I'm from the seacoast area and work in Portsmouth. I know it is not
particularly Linux-related but I work in ad tech which I've found to
actually be quite interesting. Especially recently, I've been trying to
learn more about the industry as a whole by staying up to date on industry
news. A company, adToken, just released yesterday an Ethereum based
whitelist solution for validating publishers. I started reading up on
Ethereum and smart contracts and DApps, sounds kind of interesting and I
may start playing around with that.

We run a cluster of Gentoo boxes for our web and DB servers. Gentoo is my
first Linux love. I was lucky enough to have a friend who was well versed
in the Linux world back in high school, and he got me started by diving
deep right into a fresh Gentoo install. Nowadays I prefer Arch. Most of my
work recently has been on macOS however as my work is an Apple based shop,
but I still have a handy Arch VM on here :)

Any of you guys have any experience with ad tech, or the advertising
industry in general?

Beyond that I've also been very interested in Go lately. I've reworked my
personal web site from NodeJS to Go and more recently I've been working on
a prototype of some of our backend processes, moving them over from PHP.

Anyways, just wanted to say hello to my fellow NH Linux users, thanks for
reading!
