I have been a Linux fan since 1994, and working in computing since Bill Gates was a boy (my first computer experience was in 1977).
I now use Ubuntu and Centos almost exclusively, and I am just starting to hack on a few Open Source projects (more when I have achieved something!)
I can do simple programming (up to 10k line systems) in what purists would call scripting languages including Perl, VBScript (some time ago now) JavaScript and especially Bash shell scripting)
I grok IP networking (not including V6 which is still smoke and mirrors to me) and I seem to be quite good at just hacking my way through systems to make them work.
I also love DIY and hope one day to build my own house.

I am a long time Linux fan and have been "in computing" since Bill Gates was a boy (my first computing experience was in 1977)
My major passion is our local Hospital Radio Station, ( http://appleam.com/ ) and I hope to help make it into a full Community Radio Station before the end of 2010!

Smotsie,
Could I ask, nicely, that you change your avatar? I do use that one for my Amateur Radio posts and I would hate to have folks send you hate mail when they meant to send it to me :-)
Thanks for your comments!

OK, job done with a properly researched, creative commons rockhopper! My apologies.
