How I got into tech.

Started by monsterb, this series invites people to share with us how they found Linux. It has become traditional for first time hosts to share with us their journey to Linux. Indeed it has morphed to be way to share your journey in tech right up to your first contribution to HPR.

This is my journey through technology and open source software and a little bit about me as well.

Some links that I mentioned on the show!

Welcome!

Hello Shane, and welcome to HPR. This was an awesome introduction.

You mentioned working to ensure you have high quality audio and equipment, while remaining within the open source arena. I would love to learn more about your selections and processes.

Even though HPR is very tolerant of a wide range of audio quality, I feel like it is time for me to make some upgrades, and my first step is to learn more about what others are doing.

Looking forward to hearing more fromyou on HPR

Feeling older & impressed

Shane, great to hear your first show mate.
I must admit that I felt old when you mentioned that you *started* with Windows. I had the 80s with 8-bit, and most of the 90s with Amiga, before my first PC with Windows in 1997, aged 30 by that point.
You impress me with your dedication to the LUG and to your shared podcast. Linux and hacker-space continues to drag us into involvement.

Hi and merci!

Hi, Shane – thanks for the introductory ramble. It was nice to hear from a remote neighbour on a walk.
