This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4357 for Tuesday the 15th of April 2025.
|
||
|
|
Today's show is entitled, Short Introduction by Murph.
|
||
|
|
It is the first show by new host Murph, and is about two minutes long.
|
||
|
|
It carries a clean flag.
|
||
|
|
The summary is, simply a very brief introduction by Murph.
|
||
|
|
Hello HPR.
|
||
|
|
I'm Murph.
|
||
|
|
I've been an HPR listener for a long time back into the early talk with the techie days.
|
||
|
|
I'm going to try to keep this brief.
|
||
|
|
I started a computer in the early 80s with a VIC-20.
|
||
|
|
After a few of the Commodore 8 bits, I settled in the Amiga line, which I daily drove up into
|
||
|
|
this century, and still have a few.
|
||
|
|
In college in the 90s, I had a dilemma.
|
||
|
|
I wanted to do C-programming homework from home, but the expensive Amiga compiler that I had
|
||
|
|
picked up wasn't compatible with the sun workstations at school.
|
||
|
|
Another student introduced me to Linux, and I promptly ordered a set of slackware CDs
|
||
|
|
and figured out how to install it.
|
||
|
|
I was looking for the compilers to complete my studies, but I stayed for the freedom and
|
||
|
|
for the communities like this one.
|
||
|
|
I've used countless distros over the years, and used a few different ones for different
|
||
|
|
needs.
|
||
|
|
I'm still a Linux user and system administrator.
|
||
|
|
I've given a few talks on things like a new screen, mastodon, and T-mux at conventions
|
||
|
|
like Pengwakan, scale, hope, and some other regional conferences.
|
||
|
|
I was inspired by Lyle and Fesh, Saraz, HPR, Birds of a Feather Talk at Ohio Linux Vest,
|
||
|
|
and thought that would make a good presentation and ask them if I could base a talkoff of
|
||
|
|
it which they encouraged.
|
||
|
|
Part of that is how to submit a show which resulted in me finally, after all this time, submitting
|
||
|
|
one of my own, as opposed to the occasional show I've crassly barged my way into.
|
||
|
|
If you want to reach me, the best ways would be via email at Murph at Weirdness.com or
|
||
|
