Me
I'm Jacob Peddicord, an 18-year-old web and software developer, Ubuntu member, and CSE student.
I know Python, PHP/MySQL, C/C++, and HTML/CSS/JavaScript technologies, to name a few. Most of my web applications are written in Python with the Django web framework.
I started venturing into Linux back in late 2005. I had downloaded Ubuntu 5.10 because I had always heard many great things about it. However, it refused to install from a DVD drive, and as a result, I tried SuSE. In May 2006, when Dapper was starting to become popular, I installed it and since then have never went back to any other distribution.
