For the record. i haven't contributed an iota of code in ANY free software repository till today.
That comes as a combination of shock and suprise to me. When I attended my first GLUG BOM meet, way back in Feb 2006, I thought you were one among the GNU programmers.
you thought? Long hair and a long beard is generally(without any offence to anyone) a sign of someone with a lousy sense of appearance keeping, which i very well admit too ;-) Please don't assume things about people on the fly, appearances can very well be decieving. You could have just asked me, what i do and i would have told so in complete honesty. NEVER be in awe of ANY techie/looks_like_techie/big gun/whatever, who so ever it be.
(At the first instance, I even thought you were a
foreigner,
that's a first. i should have spoken to you in Hindi, that would have been fun :-)
but realized that you weren't, when you
said "I use Debian GNU/Linux")
:-)
