About Me
I'm starcraft.man on the Ubuntu forums, not much to say on it. I'm a man. I play starcraft. starcraft.man. Nothing deep or philosophic. I actually just created it from the first thing that popped into my head after my first few preferred usernames were taken. I bet that put your mind at ease.
I live in Quebec, Canada and I speak English and French fluently. Currently going to university as a Software Engineering student, full time this fall. A big obligation, but I'll still find time to be around to help where time permits, least a few hours a day as I can. I'm not a professionally trained IT person, mostly self taught up until this point. I have had over 10 years experience with Windows (actually started with DOS 6.0 and 95, but then was mostly gaming when I was young).Most of the knowledge came from fixing 98, 2k, XP and Vista. Got into Linux due to long term frustration with Windows, and refusal to be a Mac guy. Happy ever since.
Not much else to say, I've helped at the Ubuntuforums for quite a while and know plenty of folks. Only serious blip was a year+ of inactivity I had, unfortunate, but all is well now and even during heavy study I should be able to maintain suitable activity.
Note: I'm not a big email person, if you need to get to me quick, a PM on ubuntuforums is usually the fastest means.
Contributions to the Ubuntu Community
Support
Ubuntu Forums as starcraft.man . I try to focus on those threads with 0 replies in the main support categories and beginner section. After 2500 posts, I'd like to think I helped quite a few people along the way with my diagnostic experience, I'm still learning every day though.
Forum Guides:
- Installation Guide for Ubuntu Was frustrated explaining installation every time, so I created my own guide in my own style. I hope some people found it useful over the years, I should update it though most holds true just the same.
Future Plans
Not really certain at the moment. I'd like to think I could find a job as a programmer for Ubuntu or another project I believe in but that seems a bit distant since I'm just starting my degree.
In terms of Ubuntu, going to continue supporting via forums on the Beginner and Main Support sections as best I can. Might also update my old documentation on installation, though most of it still holds quite well, I like to think so anyway.. Might joint the documentation team once settled in, I have a fancy for writing. Also thinking of writing a quick and simple guide to disk failure recovery, I been answering a lot of those lately.
