    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<h2>( A Down to Earth Blasphemy )</h2>

<p>I&rsquo;m Xeno Campanoli, and I work at <a href="http://northernpacificdigital.com">Northern Pacific Digital</a> (<a href="http://northernpacificdigital.com">NPD</a>).
I&rsquo;ve been a programmer since right after I dropped out of graduate school in 1983,
and with some exceptional breaks (I tried herring fishing in Alaska in 1997, and I was a commercial truck driver from January 2003 to May 2005),
I have kept to it for most of the last 32 years.  I like it.  On the other hand, sales I have never been into.  I like to just explain what might
be helpful and let listeners sell themselves.</p>

<p>I tend to have interests which are bent toward open source tools and frameworks, but not to the exclusion of other things if they are better options
for a given project.  My tendency is to look for new things as an engineer, not as an attractive thing for resale, so I am not always the best for
helping plan popular consumer projects.  I am pretty darned good at being given a complex project that has a lot of pieces that must work and coming
up with a reasonably economic and reliable solution from the tools I know.</p>

<p>Recent work includes small wordpress configurations, consulting on Linux systems, and test and deployment activities for firms running large web sites.
I am a fan of TDD/BDD, but am efficiently flexible at getting a project out with just the stated needs from the client in a neat and concise result.</p>
