| Away from training, I spend most my time poking round at objects and observing the Universe, learning from the Universe, and teaching the Universe to others. Par that, and I'm trying to get my foot in the door of an IT career. This usually comes with the odd banter of Perl and C/C++ Though I have also gotten my feet wet with the likes of Python, Bash, PHP and Haskell too. Despite that list, my knowledge is but small. As I am nearing the end of my first year in the "'''Become a programmer in 10 Years'''" scheme I've set myself. I am quick to pick up languages, and with so much on the plate. I'm sure I'll never get bored any time soon. I first encountered Linux at the beginning of College. I came across the homepage of Debian for the first time in my life and was curiously drawn to it. I was to then spend the following two years self-learning how to work with it. It wasn't until early January '08 that Ubuntu fell onto my lap. But I was no less than impress by it. The community and information available I found to be outstanding. Indeed, the last six months have proven to me that I have the ability to learn 2-4 times more efficiently than that of what I could ever achieve by myself! === Where I aim to be === Maths is my life, and I love to problem solve. Career-wise I'll be around computers, learning the more technological and hardware/network and server side of things. Though it has been my long semi-goal to find a route to embedded devices and architechtures, such as work on wireless meshes, or stranger yet, motion detection devices ..... to be honest, I don't know, the hint is in the move away from Desktops. :) |

| I can be found alive and proactive on the IRC located at irc.freenode.net on the channels '''#ubuntuforums-beginners''' and '''##beginners-dev''' - usually named ''ibuclaw'' or ''tinivole'', depending on my mood, or how good my connection is today (I'm usually the former for formal reasons) === How I aim to help the Ubuntu Community === Customer support is a must if Ubuntu is to become a major player in the future of the Desktop Market, and that is what I aim to deliver. Both in the form of being a good knowledge base and being a good teacher. Furthermore, I am yet to start my own [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas|ppa]] where I will begin to upload software I've written, either in the past or bits and bobs that are in the making now. Begin to properly collaborate with developers and ultimately improve, build upon and improve the pool of knowledge that is known as open source. Note to self: I am looking round development, and there is too much Python ... Not enough '''Perl'''!!! This must be fixed ;) Back Soon... Regards, Iain = Working with Jaunty Jackelope = Here I will post the list of fixes I have made for my Jaunty box. Now, Jaunty, as it stands, has not been officially released as an alpha yet... infact, not much work has been done to it at all - with the exception of one or two breakages in the main Ubuntu software collection (audio playback, most notably... but that is fine, VLC still works) - it, by definition, is still very much Intrepid Ibex. But don't take the above comment lightly, I don't in any form recommend it for the average user, as with any non-standard release, you will be required to know your ins and outs of Linux and the Debian OS environment in order to keep it running in the very near future when the breakage begins. (I, personally, can't wait for the next round of carnage). :D Here is my test system spec * AMITrends Motherboard (Release Date 08/13/2007) * AMD Athlon 64 Processort 3000+ * 1GiB System Memory * 400GB Storage Memory * ARS521x Atheros Wireless PCI * Geforce 8500 GT * Zoom G2.1u TI USB Soundcard |
