About:

>>>Hello World

My name is Jun Auza, I’m the owner/sole-writer of this site. I’m a computer science graduate who obviously loves computer hardware/software, and just about anything related to information technology. My other passion is basketball, but unfortunately, basketball doesn’t love me so I’m sticking with computers for now.

I am an avid free/open source software user. I’m also a Python, Javascript, VB, HTML, and CSS coder, and still trying to find some time to learn some other programming languages. I believe that free/open source is the only right way to do software that is why I make an effort to contribute to the FOSS community as much as I can. However, like Linus Torvalds, I use the "best tool for the job", even if that includes proprietary software.

I created this blog as a hobby at first, and as a journal on my life’s digital journey. But, things got serious when famous sites like Distrowatch.com, Linuxtoday.com, Linux.com, Tuxmachines.org, and other not-so-famous but relevant websites recognized my existence by featuring some of my articles.

Technically, this is a technical blog but when I write, I try to be un-technical as much as possible so that non-technical readers will also benefit from this site.

At present, I’m busy focusing on maintaining this site (as well as other not-so-important sites), motivated by this blog post, and aroused by my passion for computers.

On the personal side; I’m inspired by my cute (like father) son Marco and my gorgeous wife Beth. I keep on rolling because of them.

Thanks. It's a little java script I created. It slowed down my site so I replace it with a new one today. I can give you the code if you want but you need a little html know-how to use it.

Wow, I am bit surprised to see another Pinoy blog doing good in the Linux scene. When I got to your site, I was actually expecting the author to be someone from the US or Europe. Realization came when I got to the end of page and saw the ad for Bohol blog. More power to you man. I am from Cebu and I'm happy to see blogs like yours thriving, Good Luck!

Hey I came across your blog while reading some Linux reviews (great reviews BTW). I'm not Filipino, but I've been to bohol and speak cebuano (nindot kaayo ang mga tarshers no?) I'm close to graduating in computer science and I'd like to get to know you better.

You can read a little about me here :

I like what I can see on the site but I wish I could see it long enough to read it without switching browsers. I use SeaMonkey or Firefox primarily. Firefox displays your pages for what seems like random amounts of time then switches to Bad Request Error 400.

This happened consistantly with every page at www.junauza.com.

Cool site! Lots of good materials! For Open Source enthusiasts, this site should be in your 'must' site to visit.

Keep it up J!

P.S.
Would you be interested in joining the mentoring project of the Global Filipino nation?
Thanks.
