Hello all. I've just signed up to the site and thought I'd better introduce myself!
My name's Jason, I'm a long time Linux user. After many years of flirtation with Linux at home, I finally made a complete, full-time switch to Linux and free/libre open source software 6 years or so ago and I haven't looked back since. At my current job I am forced to use M$ Winblows, but fortunately Cygwin provides me with all of the warm, gooey, Unixy tools that M$ does not! Heh heh!
I'm a professional C/C++ programmer by trade, but I have a good, working knowledge of several other programming languages (which I won't list here). Currently using Kubuntu 14.04 on my main laptop, but I seem to spend most of my time using a dwm session rather than the plasma desktop - I love dwm!
I'm also on the Vim side of the editor wars, but I'm not a zealot! I'm not going to flame anybody over their editor preferences - to each, their own!
To appease any zealous disciples of the church of Emacs out there: In my defense, I have tried to learn Emacs many times. I just can't seem to get my head around it. The keyboard shortcuts are completely counter-intuitive and alien to me, I can never remember them. Vim just seems to suit me better. But that's just me! Perhaps my inability to grok Emacs is due to some form of mild retardation on my part! Heh heh!
I also drum for a progressive metal band called Kinasis and teach drums from time to time.
Right, this intro is getting deep into TL;DR; territory now. So I'll shut up!
Looking forward to discussing all things Linux and hopefully contributing some useful answers/opinions.
See you on the boards!
Jas.
