The Linux penguin, Tux.
The Linux penguin, Tux.

A girl. Zomg? Anyway, Metamorphosing is a teenager from NSW, Australia. She loves to code (when she can get it working), [[web design and is a self-proclaimed Linux fangirl (which is somewhat a rarity). She is in tenth grade currently but should probably be in year 11 for reasons beyond her control. She enjoys using correct grammar and spelling most of the time (unless she's decidedly lazy or flaming/mocking someone) and does not have a MySpace like almost everyone else in her grade and also will not create one as she would find that slightly degrading to herself, placing her pictures alongside those who are not the most computer literate. She also finds those MySpacers that use generators to make their layouts for them very annoying and likes to think of them as even less than skiddies (script kiddies).

[edit] What's in a name?

Metamorphosing is the present tense of metamorphosis, a word that Metamorphosing has long believed to be awesome.

[edit] Lifestyle

Metamorphosing can be a little bit of a caffeine junkie, enjoying late nights and lots of Coke and coffee. She believes caffeine to be a godly substance and loves intaking large amounts of it. She tends not to eat very much because she never expends much energy while at the computer, but this does not mean she is either fat nor anorexic. She has a boyfriend and this lifestyle suits them both.

[edit] Education

She attends a technology high school that she doesn't really like (they use IBM and Microsoft only) and is in all the top classes, she does pretty well in most aspects of school (except sport) and will be going on to finish year eleven, twelve and continue on to university (college) where she hopes to study Computer Science and after that, she hopes to start her own business.

[edit] Religion

Metamorphosing does not have any strong religious beliefs, although she considers herself mostly an Agnostic, she's not very firm in her beliefs as she sometimes strays towards the boundaries of various religions, such as Buddhism.

[edit] Code?

She can code in HTML, XHTML and CSS (these aren't coding languages really). She can also do some simple things in PHP, C++, JavaScript, BASIC, QBASIC and can edit most languages to do what she wants.

[edit] Female Linux User?

Metamorphosing has been using Linux for about a year. She has predominantly used Ubuntu during that time but is currently broadening her horizons and trying Gentoo which she describes as "a pain in the butt to install" but hopes it will all pay off.
