Broadcast engineer

I fix radio stations for a living and break my home lab for fun.

I'm Tyler Woodward, a broadcast engineer with twelve years in radio. Mostly I write about whatever's bugging me that week. Usually that's Linux, a security hole nobody's patching, or some company deciding I don't own the thing I paid for.

Tyler Woodward

Hey, I'm Tyler.

Radio is where it started. First AM/FM radio at five, hooked for good on Tampa's WFLZ during the Power Pig era, then on the air in La Crosse before I ever touched a transmitter. Now I'm the guy in the transmitter room, and at home I'm a dad with too many servers in a closet.

Day job: Broadcast engineer
On repeat: The Warning
Running: Debian, obviously
Home lab: One closet, too many servers

Twelve years in radio. Still can't stand dead air.
