I'm a programming, free software and GNU/Linux enthusiast. I'm also a
|
|
|
|
|
programmer profesionally, so that works out well.

I was born in The Netherlands, live in Belgium and work for a dutch
|
|
|
|
|
company. I have been using GNU/Linux since 2008, having settled on
|
|
|
|
|
[Archlinux](https://www.archlinux.org) after trying
|
|
|
|
|
[Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com/), [Fedora](https://getfedora.org/) and
|
|
|
|
|
[Zenwalk](http://zenwalk.org/). I have been using
|
|
|
|
|
[GNU Emacs](https://gnu.org/software/emacs/) since not long after
|
|
|
|
|
switching over to GNU/Linux.

## Profiles
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm often trying out new wbesites and services on the internet.
|
|
|
|
|
Especially if they have something to do with code. Here are some of
|
|
|
|
|
them:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- I put most of my projects' code on
|
|
|
|
|
[github](https://github.com/ryuslash).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- I'm also occasionally active on
|
|
|
|
|
[gitorious](https://gitorious.org/~ryuslash).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A few of my occasional contributions are tracked on
|
|
|
|
|
[Open Hub](https://www.openhub.net/accounts/ryuslash).
