Me
I'm Jacob Peddicord, 17-year-old web/software developer, Ubuntu member, and a 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'm also writing a game console project using Python and Pyglet.

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. I have given out around 50 copies of Ubuntu since (over 1000 if you count Ohio LinuxFest!), and have personally installed around 20 copies on others' machines.
