Hi,
Looking at the wiki it says to introduce myself.
Well here goes...
I'm married with 3 kids (aged 4, 2, 1 :D)... full time job but
I do get time to spare surprisingly!!!! I love my family to
pieces they mean the world to me.
I've been working in IT for 10yrs now all in a Microsoft DOS /
Windows based environment, starting with development in FoxBASE and
FoxPro and moving through the versions to visual fox.
I've not attended university but have never had a problem with
reading / googlin' bits to learn new things; I do get quite a
kick from picking up "new to me" technologies and helping
to solve problems.
Currently I work full time as a Visual Studio developer with
Technology Management Ltd. in the UK developing .NET applications
for the WinCE / Windows Mobile based mobile device market.
Those applications are mainly written in C# but we do have a
significant VB.net code base.
Following the latest Microsoft based OS crash at home a rebuild has
become necessary which I started this weekend - yesterday in fact,
so I made the choice to make Linux my main OS; to be fair it
should've been from when I dabbled with Fedora 7 and 8
thereafter... still... my foot has gone down, and my wife is
scheduled a tour of Fedora at the weekend ;)
I have recently bootstrapped myself to other languages C / C++ and
php for web work I'm finding this interesting to say the
least. I do have some experience with Apache and MySQL
(obviously the strong knowledge I have in Internet Information
Services and SQL Server have been somewhat transferable). It
looks like I need to add python to the list of things to learn and
this is something I've been mulling over so may just make that
leap.
From all of that I'm hoping you can tell that whilst I have
very little experience with 'nix environments I am keen to
learn just need some guidance on where to go to pick that up.
Away from PC's (if there ever is such time) I play guitar -
well I play guitar, banjo, and mandolin to be honest. The
last two I'm not so hot at but I can "hold my own" -
to coin a phrase - on the guitar. I also love to read; and
have - of all things - recently started dabbling in magic and
performance thereof but... now I'm rambling :D
I look forward to helping in whatever way I can. I'm
looking for a good place to start, I'm obviously following the
wiki, reading up when I can, and of course getting my own Fedora
environment setup (although I do have one running in VirtualBox at
work to satiate the 'nix desires whilst I'm at work
:D).
I'm am currently hoping to help in the sysadmin-devel
FIG.
So hello nice to "meet" and greet, and I hope you're
well.
Lee.
