[Swlug] Introduction

[Paul Stenning]

Hi all,

I have just found SWLUG and signed up to the mailing list.

I'm a self employed web developer living in Cardiff, and although I use 
Windows 10 for desktop and laptop, I do use Linux for development server 
to match (sort of) the live environments.

This is actually a Hyper-V virtual PC running CentOS 7 server with 
OpenLiteSpeed and MySQL 8.  It has to be CentOS 7 rather than AlmaLinux 
8 because it needs to run some older PHP versions (down to 7.0) which 
OpenLiteSpeed doesn't support on RHEL 8 and compatible versions.

So I am a somewhat lightweight Linux user but still interested.

I was actually a member of the Hereford LUG over a decade ago when I 
lived there, but with various moves and life events my LUG membership 
lapsed.  It was actually a Facebook Memory of a Software Freedom Day 
event that Hereford LUG did in 2010 that prompted me to look for a LUG 
here in Cardiff.

I started coding in Basic when I was a teenager back in the early 80s on 
the various computers available at the time (initially a ZX81, then a 
Commodore 64 and finally a BBC model B) before getting my first PC and a 
copy of QuickBasic 4.5, so have been interested in computers and coding 
for decades.

Anyway hopefully I will meet some of you at the next Cardiff meeting and 
follow some interesting discussions here.

Cheers,
Paul
