About

I am a freelance website developer from Australia. I've been using Linux since approximately July 2005. Ubuntu has so far been my only distro, as I haven't found any need to change

Non-Official

I am responsible for The Ubuntu Counter Project ( http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net ), which is a non-official 'census' of users and their machines. Just a little project to gather some interesting and possibly useful stats. Also to provide users with little blog or forum sig images with which to display their Ubuntu pride and spread the word of Ubuntu to the unwashed masses.
