Anton McClure's Personal Page

I am a developer with the Free Software Foundation's GNU Operating System for what is unfortunately a largely unknown but immensely helpful piece of the OS: GNUtrition, a Computer Information Systems (Programming) student and College of Business student assistant at the University of Akron, the administrator of the network of computers for Aperture/Nonpaged, among other things.

During my free time, I like working on various technology and non-technology projects, playing various video games, chatting on IRC servers, newsgroups, and web forums, making and publishing music, biking, listening to shortwave radio, using slow-scan television, trying new things, volunteering for different causes, and whatever else I find interesting.

For those who are interested, my professional biography and links to my curriculum vitæ / résumé may both be found at the bottom of this page.

About the server and my web space

This computer runs my web server, e-mail server, primary authoratative DNS server, and primary time server, among other software and protocols. Most of these web pages here are Lynx friendly and designed to last. These web pages are maintained in a simple way: manually as HTML. The goal is to just present information, views, software, projects, and some action opportunities. If there is something you would like for me to write about, either here or on a blog, you can e-mail me with your ideas.

Donations accepted

Your donations here support aperture, nonpaged.com and nonpaged.net, hosting costs, virtual machines for various services, and other domain names that are paid for out of pocket. Any amount of money will go a long way to not just keep everything up and running, but to also help make innovations possible. Any amount is greatly appreciated! Currently, you may donate via Patreon or PayPal. If you wish to get more from your donation, you may do so at either Locals and/or Substack.

Please note that your payment information is processed by the service that you choose to donate through, rather than on any of my machines. Please refer to their web sites for terms of service/use and privacy policies.

A professional bio

Anton McClure is the lead maintainer of GNUtrition, a student at the University of Akron, and a card-carrying member of the Free Software Foundation.

McClure has administered servers since 2014, typically using free software POSIX compliant operating systems such as GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. In the past, he has also hosted servers and services using the Microsoft Windows Server operating system. A good example of one of these machines is the private shell account server on aperture.nonpaged.com. Since 2024, McClure has worked with the University of Akron's College of Business Administration's computer labs, and previously worked at the University of Akron's Information Technology Services with the IT User Services team. He also attends classes at the university towards a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Information Systems for the Programming option, and has previously completed the requirements for an Associate of Applied Business also in Computer Information Systems.

McClure has also volunteered to maintain different web sites and utilities. Some of the HTML and software code he has written runs on several web sites ranging from the top 20,000 to the top 100. McClure plans to continue making further contributions to some of these web sites and servers for the foreseeable future. He is also the maintainer of GNUtrition, a free nutrition analysis software written for the GNU operating system. He has also worked with several people from the Free Software Foundation and GNU project, among other free software organizations and supporters, and plans to continue doing as some of his long-term commitments.
