Hello, and welcome to Richard Bessey's homepage.
I work for Walla Walla County as a data support technician, Its a fun job and the people there are great.

I have a collection of my projects and other links here
Richards Other Links

As much as my wife hates it, I can play with computers for a long time before getting bored. At home I run a webcam of my back yard and a weather station. I have two servers running at my house, backing each other up (in case of my house burning down) Last count, I think I have 7 computers at my house running 24/7. I am anti-microsoft and pro linux, most of the time. Linux works awesome as a server and is really hard to beat the price.

What else does Richard do other then computers?
Lots!
Occassionaly, on the weekands I DJ for local schools with my DJ business (rixthemix.com)

For fun, I ride my KLR 650 motorcycle during the summer. This is a dream to ride and during the summer, I put alot of miles on it and ride it often. I ride what alot of people call the military version of the KLR, truth is its not, its just a stock KLR that the previous owner painted it and added ammo can to make it look like its military, he did a very nice job. I finally got my wife interested in riding and she got her own bike.

I also run my own weather station and webcam on a local mountain peak.

I am a licensed HAM operater (KE7IOD) and often carry my radio when riding the bike around town.

I am an back yard mechanic and do almost all of my own home repairs. Its amazaing how much labor costs can be to do simple tasks.

work hard, and ride even harder
