hello,
my name is benj. i apreciate this oppertunity. to share ideas and learn from each other. im 36 years old, ive always had a good mind for figuring out solutions. howeever i was not lucky enough to receive much education. but i rememberr exploring any peices of tech i could get my hands on. like many others ive been stuck in the windows user rut unable to explore and learn trapped by there reins of greed and privacy. ive spent the last 6 months breaking free with the help of ubuntu. ive even written my own little "program" mostly elementry to most of you. but it reminds me of the games i would write for myself on the trs-80. i even had one of the laptops. with a 3 x 6 screen.
i hope to become a welcomed member of the community. I have read the rules but honestly being new to posting im not entirely sure what it all means but i will be respectful and welcoming to any and all guidence. in the meantime ill be happy to sit back watch and learn. again thanx for the oppertunity.
benj dee
p.s. heres that little program if any body is interested love to hear any oppinions.
and itll let you know my level just remember i havent written any programs a all in twenty years. and ive never had one class.
