-''Also known as sprong, on UnderNet, but not often these days''
-
-!! Personal
-I have a long-term goal to actually go to at least ''one'' WLUG meeting
... so far it's not working
out
-too well
-
-Previously a ComputerScienceMajor at OtagoUniversity, I unfortunately fit many
of the stereotypes.
-Except that I often got up before noon (and even went to 8am lectures at least some of the time.
-Not fun
, and I don't even reccommend it for the novelty value). Oh, and I sometimes go
-outside, and tend to bike places (Cars are evil :)
-
-!! Computery
-
-In the dim past, I've been a raving MacFanatic, a WindowsUser, but I eventually SawTheLight (people who
-know me probably think of this as the oncoming train) around 1997, and have been using various flavours
-of [Linux] and [BSD] since. Transitioned to [FreeBSD] this year, and haven't looked back.
-
-I've managed to overcome much of my fanatiscism, and now hate everything about computers
-relatively equally. But I still spend too much time with them.
-
-!! Languages
-Presently use the [Ruby] programming language for pretty much everything, although I admit
-it's not perfect. Much less annoying than most languages I've used for most things, and it
-still allows you to cleanly extend it
in [C] when needed.
-
-Have been exposed to heaps of other languages
, probably the most fun I've had has been in
-[Ruby], and [HyperTalk] (part of [HyperCard] on the [Macintosh]). [C] was enjoyable for a while,
-but for most things I do it's more effort than it's worth. Much more effort.
-
-!! Software I Like
-
-Software projects that I
use heavily
, and should probably take part in the development of include:
-* [Ion], a WindowManager - I
have this so heavily customized that it
's hard to use a traditional system anymore :/
-* [Dillo], a WebBrowser - (GTK) It
's small, fast and light. Made the web almost pleasant to use.
-* [Sylpheed], an [MUA] - (GTK) It's light compared to many of the other X based mail apps
-
-!! Software I don't like
-Anything large, crusty, slow, or suffering from poor UI design. So pretty much all of it :/
+''Redacted
. Was horrendously
out of date
, and I no longer reside
in Waikato
, use linux
, or
have any contact with WLUG
