Claim to Fame:Phonon. Before that I worked on KView, aRts and some kdelibs classes to help with plugins and configuration dialogs for plugin/KPart based applications.
Fav. KDE applications: My Phonon test apps. :) No, seriously, the five apps that I always have running are Kontact, Konqueror, Konversation, Konsole and Yakuake. All of them very useful and powerful applications, leaving little to ask for.
Hardware: Samsung R65, dual core laptop with a nice 1400x1050 screen.
Age: 23 - but I had to do the math before I was certain. I don't really mark my birthdays.
Located in: Winnipeg, MB (city of about 750,000 people, central Canada)
Occupation: Geophysics Student Extraordinaire
Nickname on IRC: troy
Claim to Fame:
Road to KDE 4 author is what I'm best known for... while egosurfing with Google, that is now just about the only results you'll get for my name.
I've spent a lot of time on IRC helping users, as time permits, or doing small "fixup" tasks in SVN.
I have a few projects in the works, such as a proposed PDF magazine for KDE users and power users. Danny Allen (the interviewer) also has his hands dirty with this one, so I guess we have gotten to know each other pretty well over the last 6 months.
Fav. KDE applications: "startkde" is my favourite application, since it lets me use all my other favourites :)
Hardware: AMD64. I'm a big AMD fan, but I cannot seem to logically justify that choice. Could be a mindshare thing :)
Homepage: Currently out of commission - I haven't reactivated my server since I moved, over a month ago. When it does come back online sometime over the next months, it'll once again live at tblog.ath.cx/troy/ unless I come across some money to buy a real domain :).
Fav. KDE applications: Besides the obvious I guess? KVirc, an IRC client which is able to display multiple channels at the same time. KScope.
Hardware: No laptop, Athlon 2800+ with 1GB and some disks. Monitor on a long cord and wireless keyboard and mouse. So I place the monitor near the couch.
