It's probably a good idea.
I am 22 years old and live in Prague, Czech Republic (thats in Central
Europe).
I'm using computers quite a while (my first computer was 8-bit ;-) but
I was never motivaded enough to write any large program (but I wrote
several programs that can do something relatively useful).
I'm currently running Linux most of the time. Unfortunately there are
still things I cant do under Linux, but there is fortunately Vim for
Windows ;-) In the past I was using a clone of the thing Spectums have
in their ROM, DOS, and all flavors of Windows except 2.x and XP.
I tried to install HURD on my computer but there is still some
tweaking needed before it becomes a usable system.
I tried ruby because it promised to make programming easier and
faster. I think it really does.
I currently use Vim as the (almost) all-purpose all-plaform IDE and
editor. I like the fact that I can use vi even if it is running on a
computer to which I connect through five intermediate systems each
running a different flavours of unix. Most other editors are useless
in this case as terminal settings and X forwarding get usually screwed
up along the way.
But vim certainly still lacks some features like code completion. This
is why I am interested in FreeRIDE. I hope I will be able to test some
development version of the IDE soon or even write some code.
To complete the introduction I should mention I like fantasy and
sci-fi literature and I'm interested in any sort of cutting edge
(pseudo-)science (which I do not neccessarily always understand). But
that is probably of little interest.
If you dont understand what I'm writing it's probably because it is
quite long since I took my last English courses ;-)
