I occasionally update this space whenever time allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been in the computing world for 35 years; I&#8217;ve seen and been a small part of its evolution.&nbsp;I held membership in Fidonet (2:461\/113) and operated my own dial-up BBS back in the 90s. I&#8217;m still a fan of tracker music and the demoscene. And yes, I still use the old Norton-style file commander on my modern Windows computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won&#8217;t find me on big social platforms such as Facebook et al. I like the more old-school ways of talking: email, chat, phone call, or meeting face-to-face. For me, these feel more real and hold more substance than the ephemeral interactions of modern-day &#8216;social&#8217; networks. Plus, I have more fun things to do with my time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get in touch, just send me an email. If you&#8217;re curious about my life, take a look around this site. I&#8217;ve shared what I&#8217;m okay with everyone knowing. And if you&#8217;re here for work reasons, my LinkedIn is the place to go. If you just want to see some pictures, check out my photo album. I add new ones when I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll find my latest posts below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warm regards,<br>Alex Radzishevsky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello World, I&#8217;m Alex Radzishevsky, welcome to my digital abode.
