+In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice
+that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.
+"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just
+remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages
+that you've had."
+He didn't say any more but we've always been unusually communicative
+in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more
+than that. In consequence I'm inclined to reserve all judgements,
+a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also
+made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind
+is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it
+appears in a normal person, and so it came about that in college I
+was unjustly accused of being a politician, because I was privy to the
+secret griefs of wild, unknown men. Most of the confidences were
+unsought--frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation, or...... wait, let me just check something... Okay. So that's actually not the introduction to my opus but is, in fact, the first page of a classic American novel. I do apologize, here is the real introduction.
+====Real Introduction====
+My name is Mikhail Potapenko. I enjoy computer programming/computer science tremendously but unfortunately I have only pursued that interest intermittently and on fairly rare occasion. I hope Unix/Linux fundamentals will force, allow, and encourage me to continue learning about how computers work and how to use them effectively.
+I enjoy reading (mostly fiction), watching amusing television shows, participating in various forms of sport, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I also like discussing strange or normal things with strange people that have unusual points of view.
