Robin 'Roblimo' Miller

Summary

I'm a skilled reporter, blogger, editor, and non-fiction author, interested in another 5 - 10 hours of work per month, but no more than that. Since 2008 I've freelanced for Slashdot, TechTarget, DevX, FOSS Force, and a few others. Due to a pair of major heart attacks in 2010, I am no longer able to work full-time. I am as skilled as ever; I just can't do as much. I currently work as a part-time contract editor for Grid Dynamics, an amazingly advanced internation software service company. Before 2008 I was Editor in Chief for SourceForge Inc. (formerly OSTG; originally Andover.net; now Slashdotmedia -- and for sale again in 2016) from 1999 to 2008. Before that (in no particular order): Freelance reporter and editor, electronics tech, soldier, limousine owner/driver, cab driver and dispatcher, auto mechanic, sailboat bum, cook, and fiction writer (mostly short stories). Goals? Make the world a better place. Write about (and use and even help develop) new technologies. Come up with new methods of using the Internet as a news medium that fall in line with my basic online news thesis, once derided but now widely accepted, that the Internet is best used for dialogues, not monologues. Specialties: Writing, editing, and video production. Building scalable, sustainable online communities. Finding, training, and retaining capable employees, and building creative teams. I have written three books for Prentice Hall and have co-written, ghosted and edited several others.
