About
Steady.org is maintained by Damien DeVille, who has spent his years since 1997 working in the Internets in one way or another. He has a strong background in TCP/IP and Information Security, as well as Routing and Switching. Very likely, you will find little here that relates to his professional life. This blog is about his world beyond packets and binary math.
What you will find here are stories from his day-to-day life, often focused on his family. There are a handful of posts related to climate change and a few related to mindfulness and buddhism. There are also more than a few about his passion for food and cycling.
Damien suffers from a raging discontent with the fact that he’s got to work for a living and frequently fantasizes about dropping out of the world of technology, and yet he just can’t let go. You might read a post or two about that here as well.
So, in essence, this blog is really about what goes on inside one man’s head.
For those who are curious, the name comes from a Brooklyn Funk Essentials album called “Cool, Steady and Easy.” At one time every piece of email that I sent had the following X-header:
X-State-Of-Mind: Cool, Steady, and Easy
Damien stopped messing with mail headers in late 1999 and now prefers to mess with cameras, bikes, and fishing poles when he has free time.
