Hi,

Well, finally got round to subscribing. Been using Linux since RedHat 6.2, but my distro of choice at the moment is Mandrake.

My name is Matt Parker (though on Usenet I'm known as Cowboy Bob - don't ask unless you're into a certain US post-punk band with an infamous name - if you are then you already know!!). I work as a Senior Java Developer at a company that makes software for the advertising industry in Diss, Norfolk - though I live in Norwich. I did my stint at the UEA doing my Comp Sci masters thesis with active shape models as part of the, now famous, VisiCast project.

At work I develop on Solaris, so together with that and my couple of years Linux experience I hope I can help some of the newbies out and maybe learn a thing or two for the "old" masters.

Matt
