About Me
Howdy! I'm Brandon Tomlinson, a college student in the Austin area. I started using Linux in the summer of 04 with SuSe, then got thirsty for knowledge and dove into Slackware. Shortly afterwards a friend from the Planeshift community mentioned this weird new distro called 'Ubuntu', I get my first install right at the end of warty. Warty was aptly named, the software was far from perfect, but the spirit of the community really resonated with me; I've never looked back.
I'm working on a CS degree and am not sure where I am going after that. My dream is to do indie game development, but I understand that it doesn't happen overnight (or many, many nights).
At home I run a server, my desktop and laptops on ubuntu; in the 'cloud' (see: Dallas), my linode is running it as well. I'm a jack of all trades, but I'm starting to become very python focused. I've done android, c++, perl, web (css/html/js), and I'm not bad with humans either.
