Hi guys,
- I'm a part time university student and fulltime linux (ubuntu) programmer. I've only encountered ubuntu for slightly more than a year but my learning curve has so far been great. I inted to continue to make it a trajectory - I just don't know where it will land me eventually.
I currently programme in C, C++, python, Java, Jvascript, PHP, HTML, Zope and will learn any other programming language that I will find fun and enjoyable. Anyway, I've not yet developed anything usefull except currently programming an apache for the the university's students union. Also as a part time student I'm currently looking for a job (definately in the open source field). For the time being, I'm taking up the leadership and contactship role for the KenyanTeam. About hobby projects, currently I'm tinkering with asterisk@home (open source pbx) and guys, this thing rocks. For the time being I have managed only to get it working with the softphones over the home network (my neighbour's to be exact),I'm thinking of extending to the hardphones and then later try to hook up with the PSTN or any carrier that works (cheap enough for me to afford)which definately I also have to learn about intergrating SIP with IAX. Funny enough, I have some two old CPUs at home that I've managed to install Apache, Mysql, Postfix, OpenLDAP, and Samba which just lie arround doing nothing except me just practicing. Probably this seems like some form of wastage but the reality is that we (3rd world countries) aren't yet savvy on the open source field, I mean getting guys venturing in these waters is a real pain in the neck that I'm willing to stick with. Favourite books are O'reilly's in a nutshell series and Dustin Puryear's Intergrate Linux Solutions Into Your Windows Network. By the way, I also love collecting or buying old hardware components (relics?).
