About Me

Summary I would classify myself as a computer nerd highly intrested in open source software. I believe it is the best way to develop any software as can be seen by the high quality of: the Linux kernel, GCC, Apache, MySQL, GIMP, Firefox and more. All the software I use is open source except for 2 windows XP/2000 computers (and the freeware utilities to maintain them) that I rarely use, and the games for my video game console. I've use almost every one of the above listed software, and would highly recommend them to everyone. I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Computer Science, and plan on becoming either a system's administrator or software engineer.
