I am an avid programmer, web developer, linux and just about everything to do with computer enthusiast. While I am no means and expert I would like to share what little I do know and share more as I learn. Hopefully, this website will grow with my knowledge and will be useful to someone.
Programming History
I have been programming since around 4th or 5th grade when I got Learn to Program BASIC from the monthly book catalogs. (It was pretty amazing what you could do with that language with little knowledge).
Shortly after I started using visual basic, another easy language. After that I took a break for a couple years.
In about 9th grade I picked up with Beginning C++ Game Programming, an excellent book in my opinion, served me well.
Stopped programming again for awhile until I took a javascripting course online and now a Java course at my community college. Suprisingly I never lost any of the concepts from OOP that I learned in C++, making Java a breeze.
Thrown in is miscelanous html, javascript, and others.
Linux History
My contact with linux is much shorter. I started looking into it when I was interested in Computer Security, so I was dual booting with backtrack.
I quickly realized backtrack was not going to work as an everyday OS I had to switch. Strangely I switched to gentoo. IMO gentoo is one of the best distributions out there and I learn more from messing up my computer than I ever thought I could know.
After a couple months I switched from dual boot to all out linux. Unfortunately, my cpus started to heat up and I resorted to throttling the speed, a fix that worked well but made the compile times horrible. After getting fed up with the compiling I switched to Arch.
Arch has most the benefits I saw in gentoo, like rolling release, minimalist, clean ( Programs aren’t as bleeding edge but oh well : / ), but without the compile times. I have been sticking with Arch ever since.
Other linux experience includes, running kubuntu on parent’s computer ( never would be able to stand it as a personal computer ), running a headless Arch server for data backup and music streaming.
