My main desktop and most of my servers have been OpenBSD machines for years, but I am slowly introducing FreeBSD to the mix. I got my start on OS/2 Warp 4 back in 1996 and also installed my first Slackware system that same year (I think it was 3.1). Some time not long after that I got a set of OpenBSD 2.5 CDs and I have been using that ever since. |
| - | Sometimes I am on #orlug on irc.freenode.net | + | I've used a lot of WMs over the years... I have liked WindowMaker and BlackBox. I tried some of the tiling window managers and don't like them. I wish e17 would reach some kind of stability because it always feels fast and slick. For a while now I have settled on OpenBox, and I am hard pressed to find something I like better (but e17 still calls to me). |

| + | I always get interested in programming languages that have whipuptitude, but I also like clean code. This should mean I shun C++ but I find I often get sucked into it pretty deep for days on end. I have liked Perl 5 in the past, but Ruby is nicer. Python feels wrong no matter how hard I try to like it. I am watching Perl 6 with great interest as it looks like it will be awesome to behold. I do some zsh scripting even though it always feels inelegant. | ||
