I hope this isn't to off topic but I thought that it would be a good idea to introduce my self and make some warnings about what I'm like.
I suppose that I'm fairly close to the nerd stereotype. I've been watching Star Trek since age four (and can still remember some of those eps) and started coding a few years ago when I borrowed a copy of Red Hat 8 from the library in Rangiora a couple of years ago. Don't ask me about what I'm doing though, I'm to much of an autobogophobe (http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/B/bogotify.html) to be any good at it. I'm currently studying for LPI level 1. WARNING: One major thing to take into account when dealing with me is that I only really have use of the literal language parts of the brain. This can make things awkward if you use implied elements of language[1] or even worse if I try expressing any emotions. For future reference, if I ever flame any one or generally give the impression of being a homicidal maniac it probably means that I'm a little annoyed. Moving on, I have read the FAQ's but are there any things about the people here I should now? This will probably help quite a bit. [1] A surprisingly large chunk of what is meant by most people is only hinted at. The average listener fills in the gaps without consciously thinking about it. My white brain cells don't operate fast enough for me to fill in those blanks in under fifteen minutes. -- Quote of the login: On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. -- Cartoon caption
