Introduction
I've been playing with computers since I spent a large portion of my savings on a VIC20. The path after that was quite predicatble, C-64, Amiga500, x486. The first time I installed Linux was in '95, as I grew more and more tired of having to spend money on my OS/2 system I decided to try this Linux thing out. All my mates were saying it was so good. I haven't turend back since. (I shamefully have to admit I've installed a Windows system or two since then, but never for my own use.)
I've gone through a few Linux distros. The first one I installed was Slackware (mid-nineties, remember!). Then Debian Potato, some RedHat, Mandrake for several years, back to Debian, a quick flirt with Gentoo and then back to Debian. Now I've ended up with Ubuntu, and I love it!
Interests
I've mostly made small additions/improvements to software I'm using. I've contributed bug-fixes (sometimes even code implementing new features) to

Most of all I'm writing small programs for my own use in Python. (Bounder, part of Bunny, http://bunny.sourceforge.net/index.html). I'm currently trying to put together a Python program mimicking Password Minder (described in this [http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/07/SecurityBriefs/default.aspx article]).
I keep a small APT repository with software that I've either packaged myself or, in a few cases, Debian/Ubuntu packages I felt needed some improvements. Check [http://therning.org/magnus/computer/apt-repo/ here] for more details.
