My handle for pretty much the entire internet is maco. Variations are macoafi or macogw if the site requires 6 letters, but maco usually means me.

Tech 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. Now I'm staring at Qt/C++ and going wondering why it looks so much not-like-C.
Karmic Goals
- Be useful enough to apply to MOTU right after Karmic releases and not be laughed at
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.
First kernel patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/13/346
Currently working on...
Add an option for a gradient background in gnome-panel ... nevermind. GNOME's replacing gnome-panel anyway so it's no use For school, I intend to make KSign, a sign-language-teaching tool for KDEedu. Celeste keeps giving me KDE paperkuts.
My PPA
Add
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/maco.m/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/maco.m/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse
to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then sudo apt-get update Currently, my PPA has Twitux 0.61 and GSynaptics 0.9.14 for Hardy.
