About Me

Professionally

I'm an IT professional working in the United Kingdom. I have been working as web developer and database administrator in a very small development team of 5. Ubuntu was first introduced to me by a colleague and since then it has become my operating system of choice.

Socially

Socially I try to stay active. I am a keen snooker and pool player. Recently I have become a member of my local pub pool team and am thoroughly enjoying it. I am also a keen cyclist and regularly take trips out into the countryside.

Participation

Ubuntu Forums

I am a member of the Ubuntu Forums. Here is the link to my profile. I have recently become more active in the support sections of the forum. I tend to post in the Programming Talk forum but I do also try to help out where I can in the Absolute Beginners Talk and also General Help forums. If I see a thread where I can contribute something useful I will almost certainly post in it.

IRC

I am new to IRC, but hope to familiarize myself with it quickly. I will be monitoring both the ubuntuforums and also ubuntuforums-beginners channel regularly from now on. My registered IRC nickname is Ash_R. I am looking forward to getting to know the Ubuntu community members better through this medium.

Goals For The Future

1. Try and be more active in the support sections of [[www.ubuntuforums.org]|Ubuntu Forums }].
2. Show Ubuntu off to friends and family as a viable Operating System.
3. Write an Ubuntu Forums tutorial that would be of use to others.
