====== About me ======

Hi, my name is Tom McArthur. I blog mostly about the Tree Tabs web browser extension, programming, Linux, Microsoft Excel, using the Opera web browser, and using DokuWiki (which is the "engine" that runs this blog). 

==== Programming ====

I have been a programmer for 25+ years. I have been an IBM RPG programmer (RPG III, RPG IV, and RPG Free), an SQL Server programmer, a Lotus Notes/Domino programmer, and an Excel VBA programmer. I dabble in Linux shell scripting (bash), powershell, web development, and regex (regular expressions). 

==== Linux ====

Linux comes in many different variations, known as 'flavors' or 'distributions' (usually abbreviated as 'distros'). I have used several distros, including [[https://www.debian.org|Debian]], [[https://www.centos.org|CentOS]],  [[https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop|Ubuntu]], [[https://www.kubuntu.org|Kubuntu]], [[https://xubuntu.org|Xubuntu]], [[https://www.opensuse.org|openSUSE]], [[https://www.linuxmint.com|Linux Mint]], [[https://www.mageia.org|Mageia]], [[https://getfedora.org|Fedora]], and [[https://lubuntu.me|Lubuntu]].
