Any similarity between my page, JeffreyElkner's page, and MatthewGallagher's page is because they copied mine and used it as a template.

Other Stuff

Programming

I've been doing Java and C for a couple of years now. I've worked with Python, PHP, and Javascript a little too. I'm using various GNOME apps as a way to practice C and learn GTK+ programming.

School

I'm a junior at GWU in Washington, DC. I'm a Computer Science major with a concentration on computer security and information assurance. If anyone who happens to be reading this is from GW or somewhere in DC, say hi.

Jaunty Goals

Become somewhat more useful by packaging
Get test-cases written for a good portion of the default applications (see: Testing/Applications)

Code/Patches

Adding minimum speed, maximum speed, and acceleration to GSynaptics was my first patch. It's not in the (very old) version 0.9.5 that's in Hardy, though. I packaged up 0.9.14 to take care of it for Hardy. It is in Intrepid.

Bug #215729 was the first bug I helped fix.

Currently working on...

Add an option for a gradient background in gnome-panel For school, I intend to make KPolyglot, a language-teaching tool for KDEedu.
