	I am a bit of a computer hobbyist. Especially small computers. Even more important that those small computers run Linux. I started this hobby way back in the stone age when I received an HP h5550 and ran WinCE just long enough to bootstrap Familiar onto it. From there I have ended up using Opie extensively. So much so that I began hacking it to make sure it worked through each Familiar release. I also tried to fix some bugs in the kernel that was used on the h5550.		I am a bit of a computer hobbyist.

But Qt had moved on. So had small computers. All of this happened round about this time that the Nokia N800 had come out. I asked for a developer discount, Nokia granted that and suddenly I found a new community! Now we have more small computers of many types that run Linux. I still like the size that Nokia seems to be targeting and the openness of the Maemo platform. Which is why I tend to hack on maemo and use my N900 extensively.
