|
|
|
I write the recently-revived series "The Linux Weekend Mechanic", which was
|
|
started by John Fisk (the founder of Linux Gazette) in 1996 and continued
|
|
until 1998. I'm also a member of The Answer Gang.
|
|
|
|
<P> I was born in Hammersmith (London UK) in 1983. When I was 13, I moved to
|
|
the sleepy, thatched roofed, village of East Chaldon in the county of Dorset.
|
|
I am very near the coast (at Lulworth Cove) which is where I used to work.
|
|
|
|
<P> I first got interested in Linux in 1996 having seen a review of it in a
|
|
magazine (Slackware 2.0). I was fed up with the instability that the then-new
|
|
operating system Win95 had and so I decided to give it a go.
|
|
Slackware 2.0 was great. I have been a massive Linux enthusiast ever
|
|
since. I ended up with running SuSE on both my desktop and laptop computers.
|
|
|
|
<P> While at school (<A HREF="www.purbeck.dorset.sch.uk">The Purbeck
|
|
School</A>, Wareham in Dorset), I was actively involved in setting up two
|
|
Linux proxy servers (each running Squid and SquidGuard). I also set up
|
|
numerous BASH scripts which allowed web-based filtering to be done via
|
|
e-mail, so that when an e-mail was received, the contents of it were added to
|
|
the filter file. (Good old BASH -- I love it)
|
|
|
|
<P> I am now 18 and studying at University (Southampton Institute, UK), on a
|
|
course called HND Buisness Information Technology (BIT). So far, it's great.
|
|
|
|
<P> Other hobbies include reading. I especially enjoy reading plays (Henrik
|
|
Ibsen, Chekov, George Bernard Shaw), and I also enjoy literature (Edgar Allan
|
|
Poe, Charles Dickens, Jane Austin to name but a few).
|
|
|
|
<P> I enjoy walking, and often go on holiday to the Lake District, to a place
|
|
called Keswick. There are numerous "mountains", of which "Great Gable" is my
|
|
most favourite.
|
|
|
|
<P> I am also a keen musician. I play the piano in my spare time.
|
|
|
|
<P> I listen to a variety of music. I enjoy listening to
|
|
Rock (My favourite band is "Pavement" (lead singer:
|
|
Stephen Malkmus). I also have a passion for 1960's
|
|
psychedelic music (I hope to purchase a copy of
|
|
"Nuggets" reeeeaaall soon).
