The hardware pages have been a bit of a focus; I've helped clean up the printer sections, and I seem to be spending a fair bit of time with the modem & wireless internet stuff, despite the fact that I use neither - they're both such enormous messes that even basic proofreading helps...

"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!

I'm a volunteer on the DocumentationTeam and WikiTeam, mostly contributing to this wiki, although I've done various small edits elsewhere in the docs. On the wiki, I seem to spend a lot of time editing and formatting -- someone has to!

The hardware pages have been a bit of a focus; I've helped clean up the printer sections, and I seem to be spending a fair bit of time with the modem & wireless internet stuff, despite the fact that I use neither - they're both such enormous messes that even basic proofreading helps...

Particular pet pages, in no particular order: OperaBrowser, BasicCommands, ["ApacheMySQLPHP"], WikiGuide.

I spend time on #ubuntu and some of the other Ubuntu IRC channels, as well, helping where I can. At least half of being helpful on #ubuntu is knowing how to use the resident bot - ubotu - because so many of the problems recurr again and again...

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