I have always been interested in computers, and would find myself hanging out with the Computer Science students instead of the Aviation Management or Business Management students I was a part of. At home and at work I have been largely self-teaching myself using computers starting with Excel and Access with VBA through ASP and SQL at work. Thankfully my current employer values education, and so I have been taking classes and not only learning the technology, but un-learning what I have been doing wrong over the years. At home, though, I have been teaching myself Linux, system administration, networking and the overall method of migrating our system from Windows to Linux. I am involved in the Danbury Area Computer Society (DACS.org) I have the opportunity to take what I've learned the hard way and hopefully help others.. I have been enjoying Open Source for a while now, and I am hoping to get a better understanding of the entire model and application.

Of course NOW I see these articles! I just used OBS to record a special board meeting (audio only) using a pair of USB microphones. It was on the company's laptop.
I had to turn the sensitivity way up (we were going to try 300 but ended up at 200) but the higher it went the louder the hissing was. You could hear people just a little better, but the droning hissing was a royal annoyance!
The Sys Admin, who has done sound work and podcasts in the past, had to adjust the recordings to remove the hissing and increase the levels of people talking so it could be understood.
The recordings will be used to transcribe the minutes of the meeting.
One game (Minecraft) comes with a Linux version, the others are playable in Wine, though performance takes a hit.
I'm not a heavy gamer, or play the most up-to-date games but I have a few I like to go between so this can get tough at times.
