Well this is the first time that I've actually blogged in a really long time (since 2005 in fact). But I didn't really understand blogging that well then, so I hope to actually do something with this one. Besides covering MadSoft development I'm going to cover a lot of Linux for a few reasons: one being I use and love Linux and OSS (Open Source Software) ideals, two being that all my software is for Linux, and three all my software is open source.
For a little bit of background info, I run Ubuntu Dapper currently, and because of some hardware issues lately, I havn't upgraded yet. I have been using Linux for about 2 years now and havn't switched back to Windows since, since I just love everything about Linux and what it has to offer which proprietary solutions could never provide (well they could, but never would). Software that I'm currently working on would be; the Linux kernel (I'm not a developer yet though but readying my first patch), gSourceEdit (a small light-weight but flexible programmers editor written in PHP and GTK+), and MadBB which is a small, very light-weight Bulletin Board system written in PHP which is probably my primary project at the moment. I have many reasons for starting my personal programming projects (gSourceEdit and MadBB) because I know that they tend to be quite redundant projects as you see new ones popping up all the time, but thats a different discussion for a different day.
