Hi nixers ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ - mcol - 04-09-2020
After a long time of lurking it is time for me to say hello.
I spend most of my digital time working on the Qtile WM, for which I am a core dev. I also work on other little projects, most of which are permanently half-finished. I am also big into math rock and neuroscience (my day job).
What brought me and kept me here was the unique and creative things that many of you produce, and many of your projects inspire my own projects.
I look forward to becoming more involved in the community \o/

Finally someone to discuss music with!
Welcome here.
RE: Hi nixers ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ - pfr - 06-09-2020
Welcome mcol. I've followed you on fosstodon for a while. I remember seeing you achieve some nice Motif window decorations in qtile which its very cool. Head on over to the screenshots thread and show us your current setup.
RE: Hi nixers ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ - mcol - 07-09-2020
Hey jkl, Ramiferous!
Will do :)
RE: Hi nixers ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ - acg - 07-09-2020
Welcome mcol, it's nice to see more "lurkers" give it a try and participate with the community.
I'm wondering what got you from neuroscience to Linux (if it happened in that order or are related at all)

Hello acg and phillbush
I feel very welcomed! :)

From there I quickly discovered programming languages that don't suck and linux and stuff. I have since crafted my experiments in a way that maximises my use of computers, so in my current research project I train mice in behavioural experiments controlled by raspberry pis using a python program, and all my data analysis is done on a beefy server in python. So it did happen in that order, but they aren't directly related :)
