Welcome to DTR's userpage!
Hello There! I'm DTR or Dave the Rave! Sorry if I sound over enthusiastic. I live in Billingham, a town in the north-east of the UK. I have an interest in Maths, Computers, and in particular Web design and Vector Graphics, which I create with Inkscape (which is brilliant). I mainly contribute to Wikipedia as part of the Graphics Lab, and try to help at Category:Images that should be in SVG format. I have edited this page far too much, so I'm writing a proper, respectable user page and then leaving it well alone. Or at least, I'm trying to.
I will use British English and puncuation most of the time; apologies if this causes difficulties.
[edit] My Computer and Me
I use GNU/Linux (specifically Ubuntu and occasionally Sabayon) and I think it's fantastic, particularly because of the idea of a freely available operating system. It's also nice to have stuff like Beryl and Compiz Fusion. I have a Windows PC, but I don't use it that much. I am very familiar with Inkscape, and use it to help out at the Graphics Lab. I have a basic understanding of how to use GIMP and Blender, which are brilliant.
