Hello,

I've just joined the mailing list (as I just found out about plug).  I have 
recently moved to Perth and don't really know anyone here who is into 
computers in Perth.  I thought I'd just write a little about myself.  I hope 
I will get a chance to meet other like-minded people.

Here's a little about myself:

I've been using Linux for about two years now.  When I first started using it 
I thought "were've you been all my life?".  I finally had a OS which had a 
decent command line (shell).  I quit using Windows immediately and have never 
looked back.

I've got a Toshiba 2800 laptop (700Mhz PIII,128MB ram, 8GB hdd, DVD and built 
in ethernet).  I use Debian Woody and Gnome.  The applications I use most 
often are Kmail, Konqueror, Lynx, Mozilla and Gabber.  I also use Xine, Xmms 
and mpg321.  I have a Psion netbook (hand-held with a keyboard) which I 
connect to my Laptop via PPP to my laptop so I can browse and telnet into my 
computer when my girlfriend wins the fight for the laptop.

I like music and movies but I don't watch TV.  I live in Leederville so I go 
to the Luna to watch the double features every Monday.  I like to drink beer 
on the weekends.  I am interested in free speech and civil liberties.  I 
program in C, C++ and Java.  I'm currently working on an open source project 
called Grapevine (www.grapevineproject.org) which is a distributed 
peer-to-peer storage network based on the Freenet project 
(www.freenetproject.org).  I'm looking for work at the moment but it's been 
pretty quiet all over the world.

I am also wanting to get another computer set up to run as an X-terminal and 
play music.  The massive 7 inch screen on the Psion is not very gratifying - 
also it runs an obscure OS called EPOC.  Does anyone have a good cheap source 
of old and crusty computers?  I looked in the Quokka and there were still 
people who think a 486 is worth something.  Weird.
