Hello, my name is Kim, and I'm an XMPP addict. | |||
You might have seen me hang around various parts of the Internets under the nickname '''Zash'''. | |||
==Contact== | |||
I am reachable through [xmpp:zash@zash.se XMPP] or [mailto:zash@zash.se email]. I public got code [http://code.zash.se/ here] and [https://github.com/Zash there]. | |||
==In short, I ..== | |||
* am a perfectionist. | |||
* am a minimalist. | |||
* am a free software fan. | |||
* like seeing things improve. | |||
* like solving problems. | |||
==History== | |||
* ''Some 13 billion years ago'': The Universe was born. | |||
* Then some stuff happend. | |||
* ''The 80's'': I was born. Grew up, played with LEGOs. | |||
* ''The 90's'': First contact with computers, found that I could make them do stuff. And also with the Internet, through dialup. I saw that it was awesome. | |||
* ''Late 90's to early 00's'': Mostly web stuff, slowly creeping towards the serverside. | |||
* ''2006'': Found out about Jabber/XMPP while being annoyed by MSN, got my first JID. Then I got myself my own personal server and domain. | |||
* ''2008'': Got involved in an organisation using an closed, proprietary IM network. The Linux client is horrible and soul-crushing. I die a bit on the inside every time I even look at it. So I begin an epic quest to convince them to switch to XMPP. | |||
* ''2009'': I start trying to improve the state of XMPP software by reporting bugs and contributing smaller patches. | |||
* ''2010-present'': Got stuck in orbit around [http://prosody.im/ The Prosody project], where I've been writing plugins, patches and trying to be helpful. Also hacked on other related Lua projects like [http://code.zash.se/ like clix, verse and riddim]. | |||
* ''Last year'': More Prosody involvement. Worked on implementations of [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0280.html Carbons], [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html MAM], [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0055.html VJUD], [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0288.html Bidi] and other cool stuff. | |||
==Why I'm reapplying== | |||
* To show my support. | |||
* Access to secret membership privileges. | |||
* Help implement XEP-0028. | |||
