Editing Introduction to a Self Managed Life: a 13 hour & 28 minute presentation by FUTO software (section)

== Dedication ==

Thank you to Tim Gilles, aka Slipperman, whose remarks on what makes someone a ''“real professional”'' stuck with me for a lifetime. I listened to Tim on the mixerman radio show. Tim wanted to demystify his craft in a way that anyone could understand; that would inspire EVERYONE to pick up a microphone &amp; a tape machine and give it a shot themselves. He did this with his own [https://archive.org/stream/SlippermansRecordingDistortedGuitarsFromHellreadableVersion/Slipperman%27s%20Recording%20Distorted%20Guitars%20From%20Hell%20%28readable%20version%29_djvu.txt “unique” writing style]. His work inspired me to do the same with everything I’ve done, from board repair to self-managed servers. Tim passed away two years ago. I hope his legacy lives on through everyone who tries to open doors for the next generation rather than gatekeep information via ego inflating elitism.
