[Bradford] Introduction :-)

[Wayne Hanley]

Hi everyone,

Following on from the other chaps a lot of you know me but for those that
don't, I will hopefully meet some of you at the next LUG but in the mean
time.

I'm Wayne Hanley, I'm a developer working in the HE sector, previously I
have worked as a developer for a range of companies from a couple of ISP
and also freelanced/ran a small business  for around 15 years.  I've been a
member of the LUG since just after it was set up with with Dave, Dick etc.

I do stuff and/or things with code and data front and backend, most it you
will all be familiar to you, I use considerable amount of math that I am
sure you will all be easily able to cope with though if not though I would
happily talk anyone interested enough though anything I do and help where I
can :)

Working with a range of systems and architectures from Windows to Solaris
with a random bit of AIX  thrown in now and again.  I also work with
various languages most random of which recently was a bit of freelance I
did outside my day job getting a payroll system written in ICOBOL up and
running on Windows 8.

I've got close to 20 years of Xenix/Unix/Linux experience though most my
time these days is spent working on Mac since it's easier for me to build
for iOS/Android/Win platforms than it is from Linux.  I don't care really
about distro's on the whole I tend to go for Debian on servers and Ubuntu
on desktop.  I have no strong feelings about desktop environments I tend to
spent my of my time in a Terminal or Sublime Text.  I do quite like unity
however.

I've not been to many meetings for about a year, I dont have any interest
in licensing, or distro politics.  I'm very much interested in the older
culture of exploration and sharing information with each other in a no
exclusive non elitist manner.

Regards
W
