He started to use Gentoo back in the glory days in 2004 and started his |
6 |
moderator careers 2-3 years ago. Now he took the last step to become a |
7 |
full global moderator. |

Here are some lines about himself: |
11 |
|
12 |
I am 40 years old, Belgian, married, with one boy (4 years). I work as |
13 |
Software Developer/Architect or Business Intelligence Consultant for |
14 |
18 years. |
15 |
|
16 |
I use computers since I am 9, starting with the family's C64, then a |
17 |
286. I discovered UNIX and Linux at University (1992-1996) and I was |
18 |
quite frustrated with that 286 that could not run Linux... I had to |
19 |
wait until 1996 and my first owned computer (a K6 II). I started with |
20 |
SuSE Linux and Red Hat, and needed to compile the kernel in order to |
21 |
have drivers for the sound card and ADSL modem. Then I've built two |
22 |
LFS systems, the first with FVWM95 and the second with GNOME (1 or 2, |
23 |
I don't remember). When I would update them, I was searching for an |
24 |
automatic version of LFS. And I found Gentoo! It was in 2004, as said |
25 |
my forum profile. I did know the first moments of ~AMD64 and the |
26 |
"unstable" meaning of "unstable". Today, ~arch is really stable, thank |
27 |
to you Gentoo Developers! |

I am moderator in the French forum since July 2011, and active as SPAM |
30 |
hunter. Desultory and the forum administrators asked me to join them, |
31 |
and I accepted the challenge! |
32 |
|
33 |
I am also musician, my instruments are keyboards: piano, organ (pipe |
34 |
and tonewheels), synthesizers. My favorite styles are: Classical, |
35 |
Jazz, Pop-Rock. |
36 |
|
37 |
I am not a great fan of software in that domain, I prefer "hardware", |
38 |
or at least embedded systems with knobs and tangible interfaces that |
39 |
don't sound as "computer". |
40 |
I am tinkering now on a MIDIbox SID system (C64 nostalgy). |
