I’m a 31-year IT Consultant from Belgium, and I manage to get through life without being an expert in anything. My girlfriend and I recently moved in together, to the Ardennes. In Belgium, you can’t get much closer to nature than that.
I have a son from a previous marriage, who’s pics can be found if you browse to my LiveJournal, there’s a link there.
Everything I know about Linux is self-taught. I’m not a programmer either. That means my contributions to open source are pretty minor, but I’m proud of them anyway: I provided the Dutch translation for the lightweight Desktop Environment LXDE (go and check it out), and I did some translations for the Chakra Project (Shaman, a package installer and Tribe, a LiveCD installer).
I’m still searching for “the perfect desktop experience”, but I haven’t found it yet 
My preferred operating system on my main desktop is Arch Linux, with Openbox as the window manager, but I sometimes use Ubuntu when I’m feeling lazy. I keep coming back to Openbox though…in my mind, there isn’t a better window manager. I have another, older PC, which runs Arch and XFCE.
I think tinkering in front of my PC is the most fun I can have by myself, but I’m weird that way.

Hi, Someone just pointed me to your site and I must say, well done. I’m long time Arch user and fan and am always looking for people who write about Arch. I’ve added your site to my feeds list and look forward to all future content as well as reading all past stuff.
Regards,

“tinkering in front of my pc” does sound like something I do a lot

Hello,
I’m Susan, of the TechnoSnack’s team and I wish to inform you that we are opening a new blog aggregator about Computers & Internet news.
We put it on-line some hours ago and the link is: http://www.technosnack.com.
The main objective of this project is creation of a “virtual window” of information about Computers & Internet world, with news about Linux, Windows, Mac, Open sources, Security, Graphics, Symbian and more on…
The key feature is that news come directly from blogosphere. We wish to show a preview of posts, with a link “Read more…” to signed blogs. If users are interested in news, they can read entire post directly from your blog. Simple, just as a snack!
So, the different signed blogs can increase their visibility and reach more visitors, all over the world!
We think that in a little of time it can send more visitors to signed blogs, contributing to diffusion of know-how about Computer and Technology world.
Are you interested in this idea, with your blog?
If yes, then you can register your blog, using the specific “Registration Form”!
Bye!

I like your blog.
I use Linux, KDE 4.1 is one of the sweet Desktops ever, even though it still needs work. In many ways, I’m also self thought in PHP, HTML, CSS etc. I still have a lot to learn about Linux though.
Keep thinking big, it’s the attitude that matters most.

Hi, I don’t use the more ‘exotic’ window managers… I stay with Gnome and KDE. But, I’d love to see a youtube video comparing everyday tasks between KDE and Openbox. Or Gnome and Openbox.
My main requirement is modest; thumbnail previews of media files.

Hello – I like your blog, you do a great job with it.
I was reading your “Howto: graphical logout/shutdown/reboot in any Window Manager” http://celettu.wordpress.com/2008/06/01/howto-graphical-logoutshutdownreboot-in-any-window-manager/
I’m interested in using this application, however the link to get the necessary files is dead. All the links on the original arch forum post are dead too
Could you post the necessary files somewhere so that I (and others) could download them? Thanks!
