Benjamin Torsten Jolitz is into robotics, science fiction, computers,
and telescopes. Ben rebuilt a 30 year old telescope and hand-ground
mirror from his Grandpa and used it to win a second place in earth / space
science at the 2004 Synopsys science fair with a study of collimation
techniques. Ben likes hanging around the SJAA ATM guys talking shop
and grinding
his own mirror.
Ben is an accomplished Berkeley Unix 386BSD system administrator, and
also handles video production technical and support issues. Ben collaborates
on short subject films and participates in film festivals - his
latest work "Bots" (see "Jolitz Family Video - Bots" for web video and "Bots DVD by Benjamin Jolitz and Rebecca Jolitz" for a DVD) is a comedic exploration
of the roles of robots in popular films (see his films at "Jolitz Family Video Producers - Ben Jolitz"). Ben says BSD is technically
better than Linux, but thinks conflicting shared libraries, incompatible threading,
and inconsistent program development makes BSD "run like crap". He
thinks the Linux community is much more together because the BSD
side is "too old, full of it, and doesn't want to learn python".
