Why I have been away for such a long time.

Post by dejai »

Hey everyone, some of you may remember me. Most won't but I have been away from the irrlicht community for a long time and I am looking to make a come back into regular forum posts and general IRC discussion.

I have been away from this community for so long because I thought I would get into this whole linux craze so I installed Ubuntu found it a little noobish, jumped over to what was Fedora 8 really enjoyed it and moved onto Fedora 9 and Xorg 1.5 didn't have the ATI card support I needed so I couldn't render 3d objects so well. All attempts to downgrade to the older xorg really messed up my system..

That eventually lead me down some strange tracks like learning to package things and then sent me flying back to Ubuntu after I decided I will leave Fedora till ATI starts supporting the new XORG. Now hopefully as still a linux newb but not a complete idiot I can program 3d graphics once again.

When you tell yourself that the harder something is to learn, the more valuable the knowledge must be, your journey to the Linux side will be complete. :P

Oh, and: welcome back.
