Critical commentary will be present, as it's both unavoidable and legitimate, but I will do my best not to turn my articles into reviews. My main goal is to provide contextually appropriate content based on personal expression. What I mean by that is: expect the articles to carry a grain of criticism, but know that I'll unapologetically slap them with my ramblings.
It all started with the Amstrad CPC 464. If I remember correctly the year was 1988 when I began fiddling with computers. I played my first games there and started writing my first programs with GW-BASIC, some Pascal and even gained several minutes of experience of COBOL.
My next machine was an IBM PC-compatible by Schneider, the Amstrad PC1640, which was also my first encounter with floppy disks, since the Amstrad CPC 464 used a built-in tape drive. I did not have the chance or the privilege to some, to own an Amiga or a Commodore 64 back then, but I do own both now.
In the early 90s, I also had a short trip with some of Nintendo's consoles—the Game Boy and the Super Nintendo. Around the time the first Sony Playstation came out, it marked the end of an era for me, as I basically stopped following gaming consoles. From this point on, I went all-in with PCs up to this day.
In case you're wondering from where the name "Scruffy Bearded Guy" came from, I got the idea from the comic strip Dilbert by Scott Adams.
I've been using GNU/Linux as my primary operating system since the early 2000s. My distribution of choice is debian, although I've disagreed with some of their decisions in the recent years.
I'm a supporter of Free Software and the Free Software Foundation.
