About
Apologies for subpar webcam headshot; at least it's recent!
My full name is Jeffrey E. Forcier, but I tend to go by just "Jeff" these days. I'm a computer guy, both personally and professionally, currently specializing in Python and Ruby development as well as Unix systems administration.
I am probably best known for co-authoring a well-received book on the Django Web framework, and for maintaining the popular open source SSH scripting library, Fabric.
Born and raised in the wilds of western Massachusetts, I attended UMass-Amherst for a computer science degree and then moved to the New York City metro region, where I've lived since 2004. I'm married and have two pets (rabbit and cat).
As you can probably guess by this site's domain name, my online moniker is
bitprophet, and that's also how you can look me up on various Web sites,
including but not limited to:
- del.icio.us
- Flickr (haven't updated in years, but plan to catch up eventually)
- Freenode (IRC)
More fascinating info about me, such as hobbies/interests, favorite technologies (and why I use them), and so forth, is coming soon.
My email address is jeff [at] bitprophet [dot] org.
