I am a full-time consultant and provide services related to the design, implementation and deployment of mathematical programming, optimization and data-science applications. I also teach courses and workshops. Usually I cannot blog about projects I am doing, but there are many technical notes I'd like to share. Not in the least so I have an easy way to search and find them again myself. You can reach me at erwin@amsterdamoptimization.com.

Sun VirtualBox
For a free alternative to VMWare see http://www.virtualbox.org/. It actually works pretty well. Here I am running Ubuntu Linux on a (cheap) laptop. Make sure to install the Guest Additions so you can resize the window.
IIRC, the free version of VirtualBox does not support USB devices and maybe a few other things. Otherwise, I agree that it's pretty functional.
