I have been a Linux zealot and user since 1995. At that time installing a graphical desktop was a real adventure, and getting connected via whopping 14.4K modem to the net entailed messing with ppp scripts. I clearly remember that magical moment when I finally got connected, clicked on that underlined blue thing, and a completely other page appeared on the screen. It was a defining moment for me.

Now I am at home (blew out my back) and I administrate a ridiculously over-engineered home network. I use Linux day-to-day, and only have a Win partition for Photoshop CS5. I also putter with embedded development in C/C++ and Java on a variety of architectures, most recently for Android.

I'm looking forward to helping and being helped!

If I buy a sports jersey and sit in the stands during a game do you think the coach will confuse me with a player and send me in?

I guess it depends on what your contract states.

Greetings, Mark, and welcome to LQ!

Welcome aboard.

You guys missed the spammer.

Thanks for spotting that.

1016jersey was reported but amazingly is still here.

Yep; reported about an hour and a half after their initial post. A moderator even made a 'joke' about it, but the post remains.

I also reported it.

Come on mods, ye can do better.

Shhh! You'll wake them up!
