Another first post

So, you can't see the other first posts. This blog has been renamed so many times, but I don't care.

Anyway. I'm minozake. Feminine name, but I'm a guy. My real name is Donald Johnson, and I am a Free Software proponent. I work on the FLOSS project Source Mage GNU/Linux. It's pretty fun, laid back. I am part of the Tome Team which manages the documentation.

I've lately taken up the task of rewriting all of the man-pages because they need it. They are outdated, un-technical, and aren't standardized well. And, since that is something I'd like to see and help other people with, I am rewriting.

It worked fine for the first few days. I was pumping out a man-page one every couple of days. I've done 3 so far and submitted the bugs for them. However, I've dropped off, but hopefully I will get back on track soon. It's a combination of both the fact that troff syntax can kiss my ass and that I've been busy. Hopefully with my new laptop, which has been configured using Source Mage over the past 2.5 days, I can finally do useful things while I'm over at the college.

Overall, I'm thinking I might want to try and take up Python again or struggle with C. I'm weighing Python by that it's touted as simple and it's very readable. I'm weighing C on that it has very simple syntax. I'm probably heading over to Python. I want to make scripts for a very easy-to-use notification binary that has similar options to dzen2, but that it isn't dzen2.

It seems I only like popup notifications if I make them. Maybe it's the fact that I know how to disable them easily. Go figure.
