About

Hello, I am Keimpe de Jong, mostly known online as UndiFineD I have a collection of girls, my GF and 4 daughters.

My ICT knowledge spans over many years. My first time online was in 1988. My first encounter with Linux was in august 1995 at a hardware sale there was this guy selling Infomagic Slackware Linux 4cd's for a cheap price I just went there to buy some new antivirus (TBAV) and went home with kernel 1.0.28 I installed it on windows95 launchday.

Behaviours

I can be annoying pain in the butt for doing things differently. I am best known for my weird humor nobody seems to understand.

Learning

I am a skilled PHP developer, this I thought myself. In school I had some c++ training, but never really liked the lang. I wish to learn python and conquer the world with it.

Use

I use Linux because it is fun, kicking it's tail and then make it all better again.

Sharing

I use apt-mirror to share and save bandwidth Integrating packages in one single mirror has the advantage that you'll know it will be there. my mirror is also available online, and I would not mind if people grabbed some packages.

Adoption

Since I use Linux I have converted my GF to it as well, she was a windows gamer at first but now she is hooked to how it all simply works.

Why using Ubuntu?

I have worked with many different distributions in the past, at first Slackware of course, but you had to do everything manually by editing some configuration file. Since I was in school at that time I noticed that windows had become a requirement and that I had to learn about Novell netware networks. so my Pentium66 desktop migrated to windows and my 486DX100 server migrated to Novell

I Have played with early and late Redhat, SuSE, Fedora, CentOS, Fermi, LFS, Debian But I wanted something easier at home. Yes Ubuntu is easy.

Professionally

I have been into computers since 1988. after college CS I did mostly programming in PHP. I started working for a television studio to program a call monitor. After that I started working for the European Patent Office as a Data Center manager and I have been trained in Data Center Design. Then I went to Petten to work for the European Commision as a Local Linux/Solaris Systems Administrator And after that I moved back to Friesland to work for JC-Electronics as a IT-Manager / PHP programmer to make a full company administrative system.

Life Goals

My base goal is have a job again, as I am sitting at home at the moment. Canonical, Hire me please In the mean time I work on the projects listed below. And slowly spend time to learn Python. In the future I would love to setup a business around Linux. Especially for government and schools.
