 Five months just passed since I became a member of this amazing community.

 My username is aonareile. It is "monorail" in Scottish Gaelic. I am not a Scot
 but I like Scotland a lot. However, I didn't just pick a random word from the
 dictionary - this was actually the first Gaelic word that I figured out by 
 myself when my son saw a monorail and asked. May not be very exciting to
 everyone but it is more or less a memorable moment with my kid.

 I consider myself a coder (not knowing enough to be a developer) but I code 
 less and less at work. I studied in computer science but didn't really study 
 very hard until around 5 years ago, when I realise there are a lot of things I
 don't know. Every night since then, I would borrow a couple hours from the 
 next day to write programs, learn new stuffs, improve my computer's  configs, 
 tinker with some microcontroller boards, work on things that never end.

 I am using a mini PC that is more than 10 years old. I started using it since
 my laptop died. I believe I will continue using it for quite a while unless 
 one day it gives up on me. It is so old that it can't run any modern browsers
 or any fancy applications. But it doesn't bother me at all, for I am a shell-
 dweller. :)

 When I am doing my things at late night, when the family is asleep, I listen 
 to music. Not very surprising, right? I like Irish and Scottish traditional/
 folk music, and over the years I have learned that this is a conversation 
 killer. But I like what I like, and I respect everyone's music preference.

 Probably due to profession, or how my brain works, I am very sure I can't be
 a great blogger who can write fancy stories or amazing daily sharings. So what
 I will do is to put my whole playlist, one tune/song at a time, into my phlog.

 "Goodnight, and joy be with you all."
