• • • About Me***

I hate these. Please visit My Google Profile if you want to read the only one I have ever written.

• • • Distro History***

I started with RedHat 7, stopped when RH8 came out, and came back to use RH9. After RedHat went commercial, I started using Fedora (Core) Linux and continued to use it happily until shortly after RedHat 17 was released. At that point I had become fed up with the lack of proper power management settings in GNOME 3. Other desktop environments provided a lackluster experience compared to that of GNOME on the Fedora Project. I tried Linux Mint for a week, and then switched to Arch Linux. I have used Arch Linux before at the job I had in the United States. I currently have it running in an extremely minimal state, but I am building it gradually. The machine should begin to make me happy by this time next year.

• • • How I Will Help***

I am currently studying the Japanese language here in Japan(私は日本で日本語をべんきょします). When my Japanese meets or exceeds that of a native Japanese person(or one of my professors state that I have achieved proficiency) I will begin to translate everything that I can.

I also intend to do spelling and grammatical corrections if and when they are needed.

I have a unique computer with some different problems to overcome. I plan to document how I fixed as I encounter the solutions.

I would like to maintain at least one AUR package and, in the event that AUR package becomes part of the official repository, continue to maintain that package.

This machine has all the specs you would find on any website with the following exceptions: > 512GB internal SSD > 4GB of installed RAM

Things that don't work right now: > Accelerometer > Tablet Mode detection > All the buttons not found on a standard keyboard, including the volume control.

• • • Languages(Computer)***

C/C++, Java, (X)HTML, CSS. The first two are the result of university courses, and the last two are entirely self taught.
