A wii bit of history.

This blog will be dedicated to my linux endeavours. And I think I should start off by giving a little background to my computer life up to this point. My first computer system was a Commodore 64 in 1979 and I wrote my first program (in basic) for it within hours of unpacking the machine. I fell in love the computer technology at that point and continued to program constantly. I moved into bleeding edge multimedia (before it was called multimedia) with the Amiga line of computers and really picked up speed in the computing world. The Amiga allowed me to sharpen my operating system skills, advanced scripting, programming, graphic/audio multimedia production, and so much more. I even setup one of the largest multiline BBS systems in the Houston area in the late 80's, early 90's, called ACME. ACME was run from an Amiga 3000 and had 10 seperate modem/phone lines for multiuser chat, postings and files. Think of it as miniture internet for the time. Unfortunately the Amiga/Commodore died off (well, pretty much) and I had to move to Windows computer usage and hated every minute of it. Luckily I've found Linux now and have been using it for the past few years. I now work in a media production studio (one of the largest in the Houston area) thanks to my years of computer media work. And we have switched most of our machines here at our studio to Linux. Thus bringing you up-to-date, in a VERY terse way, to my present day computer experience.

Systems I've owned/mastered summary: Commodore 64, Atari ST series, Amiga series, Macintosh, Winblows (all versions), and now Linux (tried MANY distros).
