Hello, my name is John Hunt, although you may already know that by now.
About me
I live in Highfield and work at the University of Southampton in the [[GeoData Institute]]. At work, I do web app programming and design (php/mysql/xhtml/css/javascript), help manage the network with some of our redhat EL servers there and do some other cool linuxy stuff, it’s a really nice job that I love..very lucky!
Computers
Currently I’m running Ubuntu Edgy on my IBM r50e laptop. At home I have a pile of old computers wasting space, and a fancy new media pc thing running Freevo. I have a VPS running at bytemark that hosts my home page and a few sites for people I know. I also have a couple of servers over in the Netherlands which are in a bit of state, but will hopefully soon have Xen running on them.
Knowledge
Things I know something about (albeit, not much):
- Fedora Core, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian
- Gnome
- PHP
- MySQL
- css (Cascading Style Sheets)
- XHTML (quite similar to HTML really isn’t it)
Stuff I’m interested in ”(computer stuff that is)”
- Linux (obviously)
- Python (I’m just starting to get into python, I think it looks like a winner)
- GStreamer, totem, rhythmbox, muine and stuff like that.
-
Wireless networking, NetworkManager, TCP/IP
-
SSHFS. I think SSHFS (and FUSE) is cool.
- Xen
- Virtualbox
- Qemu
- Emulators and virtualisation in general.
-
VoIP – SIP/IAX2/Ekiga..as we’re moving to Australia soon, this is quite important to me.
I grew up playing around with Sinclair Spectrums. Sir Clive really is a genious.. I’ll be arriving in my C5 to the next LUG.
If you like, check out my site (mainly about linux stuff) here: John Hunt.com.
I should be at the next LUG (the one in Southampton anyway) next time it’s on so see you there hopefully!
