Away from the real world, I spend most my time poking round at objects and observing the Universe, learning from the Universe, and teaching the Universe to others.

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 impressed by it. The community & information available I found to be astounding. The values and philosophy behind the system were the main points that won me over. Since then, it has been a series of black swan, or unplanned events that have lead me here, starting with a private message from one Shaun Dennie, which leads into my involvement.

In April 2009, I became a member of staff at the UbuntuForums, and later in December 2009 an Ubuntu Member. It may also interest some people that I got interviewed by Matthew Helmke, a former Ubuntu Forums Administrator.
