Talk about it in our Forums

Being interested in becoming an editor here at arsgeek.com, I thought it would be interesting to at least explain a little who I am, what I like and why I write about things I write about.

First of all, I’m a French-speaking Canadian from Québec. This might explain why my blog is in french and why I needed a place to post my (interesting) stories in english. My nickname SamuelDr comes from my first name and my family-names, Dionne-Riel; it is not for doctor.

I currently am studying in computer sciences (DEC+BAC en informatique) in a CEGEP in Québec city. My interests revolve mostly around computers and technology. I’m a self-professed geek. I’m a Free and Open-Source proponent and I like Linux. Sadly, I’m currently castaway from Linux as is has not a great support for my new-ish laptop (2 weeks old), a Sony VGN-SZ650Q. I like games, either board-games of video games. I like RTS, FPS and RPGs a bit. I like to code, I currently don’t know as much as I would want, but well, I can’t do anything else than learn.

My main goal by posting here is to have a better visibility on the internet and to kick myself in the butt to post things more often, by having a commitment. Oh and what I will write here will be mostly featured both on my blog and here, on Arsgeek.com. My posts will most probably be about what I use technology-wise, open-source software, tricking Vista into using less resources and molding it to something I’ll like more and probably games.

I hope that my future stories will be appreciated amongst the readers and if you don’t like one, if something is unintelligible (misused expression mainly), if I forgot something, if you would like some precision or even if you like it, you can comment on my stories, I’ll be glad to answer to any comment.
