I\'m from Lisbon in mainland Portugal (near where \"Rock In Rio\" was this year. PS: Britney came here and sang in playback...can\'t even sing, poor singer wannabe tsc tsc).
I\'m 23, and I\'m currently studying computer science in a portuguese university where I\'m also a systems administrator, since a year ago.
I use Linux since 1997, being SuSE at the time, tested (and still do when new versions are released) all the major distros, and I\'ve been happy with Mandrake, since 9.2 (I play with cooker, and use 10.0 in several other machines). I\'ve also looked into FreeBSD and OpenBSD. At work I deal with RedHat from 5.2 to 9.0, two Windows Domains in Windows 2000 Advanced Server with four machines in the active directory infrastructure. Our students labs use Mandrake and Windows XP deployed with Rembo(.org was bpbatch).
Running Linux was what drove me into buying a Z, and I currently own a 5500 imported from the U.S.A., and I\'d like to move further to a C model someday. (I\'ll keep dreaming... ) Right now I use the Z as I used my computer when I started to use Linux, and I\'m mostly tinkering with it, all the time. I plan to take some time this summer to really get deep into OE and start doing something useful. I don\'t even have PIM software installed. I use my Z to browse the web, wardrive, draw, play some games... (I must have some problem, since most of the time I use it to configure it... ).
I had contact with c, java, perl, html, javascript, haskell, prolog, caml. I\'ll extend and evolve my knowledge in more languages (and paradigms), and mostly learn to code better in general.
Feeling what someone posted above about being around computers all the time, I started recently to learn how to draw, and bought a few books I read somewhere were good to start with, and I\'ve made some progresses from stickman to more nice sketches. ehehe I\'m planning to buy a better drawpad, a couple of good pencils and markers more adequate to work further.
I listen to every kind of music, except things which have metal in the name (at least most of them) I mostly enjoy electronic music, from dance, trance, (you can take euro dance and italo from the list too ), d&b, jungle, chill out, hip hop, r&b, etc, etc, jazz, acid jazz, blues, etc, rock, some pop, etc... I plan to learn music maybe when I graduate (maybe I\'ll have the time and money by then), and if I can, I\'d like to learn how to play sax and that instrument used in jazz bands which I think it\'s named cello? It\'s like a huge violin.
I began to look into R/C cars, and have two 1/43 M-Tech Epoch Indoor Racer (the perfect indoor R/C car), which are full propo. I\'ll get into track building someday, but I don\'t have the time right now.
I\'m also a very (very... very ) shy person.
I\'ve also been trying to recover from delayed sleep phase disorder.
