Not really a programmer but I find it useful from day to day. I picked up coding in collage when I had to take a VB6/.net class. before that I was mostly hacking together shell scripts but not really writing my own code for anything until that class.
Come to find out after that, my dad had learned Basic back in the day and had a bunch of learning material for our old Apple II Gs but never shared any of that with us kids… Thanks Dad.
I stole mine… at least that is how I remember it. I was a beta tester for Ragnarok Online way back in the day and there was a user run site with info on mobs and items from the game. I liked the name Nitros so much the next game I played I registered the name Nitros7. Since then I have used a version of that name pretty much where ever I go.
I am a fan of yay (yet another yogurt), for the most part it will replace pacman as well as install AUR packages, and supports Yogurt style searches.
