"Madpilot" is Brian Burger's username or nick on various online activities, including #ubuntu on IRC.
I'm actually a pilot, not actually insane, and doing my best to have Ubuntu's wiki make sense from the perspective of someone who's only been using Linux since late May 2005.
Prior to May I ran Windows XP for a while, and Win98SE for 5 years before that. I've become a thorough convert to the Linux home desktop - it really does work, full time and Windows-free!
My email is blurdesign at gmail dot com; alternately try yh728 at victoria dot tc dot ca.
I'm fairly fluent in HTML and CSS, starting to learn PHP & Javascript, and do a bit of web development for fun and extra income. I maintain a website at http://www.warbard.ca/ although there is really nothing about Ubuntu there currently.
I signed the [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/conduct/ Ubuntu Code of Conduct] on October 23, 2005, and can now call myself an Ubuntite!
My [https://launchpad.net/people/yh728 Launchpad page], although there's not a lot there that isn't also here.

And yes, I'm related to CoreyBurger, who is my younger brother.
