New Foresight Member

To those of you reading from http://planet.foresightlinux.org, I'd just like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Jordan, and I'm a Foresight Linux user.

I'm a 26 year old living in the United States, in Frankfort, Kentucky. I am a Network Analyst for the Kentucky Department of Education - Cabinet for Workforce Development. I support mostly Windows servers and a few Solaris/Unix servers. I have been using Linux full-time since February of 2007, but sporadically since 2001. I had a roommate in college who showed me that there were other things out there besides Windows, and though I couldn't make the switch full-time until just recently, I feel that Linux has been a big part of my life ever since then.

I first heard of Foresight from etank shortly after he started using it. I decided to give it a shot on my new laptop, since I had just purchased it and certainly didn't want to be using Vista. From that time I realized that Foresight has a community that I could grow to be a part of, and a development environment that I can actually participate in. I began working with etank and mkj at the Foresight 20/20 conference in April, and haven't looked back.

Yes, I realize that most of this post was directly copied/pasted from my Foresight wiki page, but it says a lot about me without having to retype.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to doing more as a member of the Foresight community (and hopefully as a developer eventually!).
