Hi there. I'm scarface from New Zealand. I'm pretty new to BBS's, mainly just been playing the games (poorly haha). I've also been lurking the message board a bit and thought I should take the time to introduce myself.

I'm a child of the late 80's, brought up with a mix of DOS, Debian, and various window's starting from 3.11. I've gotten to know a lot more about computers ever since, but always know there is heaps more out there to learn.

In recent years, I mainly use linux, but dabble in other OS's in VM's. I've also made a decent effort at my own OS for the x86, purely for the learning opportunity of learning x86 assembly.

For work, I started off a sysadmin at my dad's work, then did university and whatnot. After uni I've been a web developer, security consultant. On the side I do various projects in a bunch of languages. I like trying things out, even "esoteric" stuff.

I'm probably a bit younger than the average age, but is nice to see there are even younger folks getting engaged with this sort of technology. I worry sometimes about the direction of the software industry. I'm not so sure it is always going forward haha.

Anyhow, that's me. Using SyncTERM from ubuntu. Happy for recommendations of other clients to enjoy this though!
