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 Beginner Talk and also General Help forums. If I see a thread where I can contribute something useful I will definitely 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 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.
