I developed an interest in UNIX operating systems some 10 years ago, and today most of my time spent with computers revolves around that. These days I work, play, tinker and code mostly on GNU/Linux. For years I participated in and contributed to various on-line communities; forums, IRC rooms, Usenet groups and in private conversations, all my ideas and thoughts scattered around and of no particular use to anyone short after they were written. This journal is an effort to create a central place for all my writings.
