Who am I?
My name is Brian P. d’Entremont. I am currently a doctoral student in Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina, USA. I was born and raised in Aiken, South Carolina. Among other things, I enjoy cycling, photography, and railroads.
Why Between the Mountains?
d’Entremont literally means "from between the mountains" in French. That having been said, my d’Entremont ancestors have lived by the sea shore in Pubnico, Nova Scotia, Canada since 1653, when the town was founded by the Baron Philippe Mius d’Entremont. In France today, the family being unheard of, d’Entremont is better known as the name of numerous towns in mountain valleys, such as St. Pierre d'Entremont in the photo below.

What is on this site?
This site was started as an experiment to see what I could do with an old laptop with a broken monitor, now the server hosting this page. It now includes a photo gallery, a list of recommended computer software, and links to my favorite web sites. My server also hosts my dad's photos. Please browse the site using the navigation bar at the left and feel free to leave tasteful comments in the blog and gallery. You may also contact me at admin@dentremont.us
Copyright
I reserve all rights for the photos and text on www.dentremont.us except as specifically noted. However, you may place low resolution copies of my photos on your own non-commercial website for use as links to appropriate pages in my gallery. Please refrain from hotlinking to the images themselves, as I have very limited bandwidth and like to retain the right to present my work in the context that I intended. I would be amiable to releasing individual photos under an open license for use in contexts such as Wikipedia, if requested.
