There are a few things you should take care of in life, for if well maintained, they will reward you later on.

As you will note, I do now have a BYOND membership, for a period of 1 year. This is courtesy of IP. So first I would like to say thank you to IP, for allowing me to participate in a wider sense in the BYOND Community. You have granted me the ability to (hopefully) breathe some life back into the LinuxGuild, this shall be discussed in some more detail later. Further to this, I am now able to demonstrate my affiliation with various Guilds and consequently participate in a more constructive manner in these Guilds. I had found this to be somewhat of a sticking point with being a non-member, although I can certainly appreciate why it is the case from BYOND's perspective, you do get the feeling you are somewhat a second-rate member of the wider Community. However, that has fortunately changed for a period of one year, a fact I intend to captialise on.

Anyway, on to a certain topic that the BYOND Community category has been receiving some traffic recently about, BYOND on Linux. I do not intend to discuss Linux too much on my blog, mostly due to our having a Linux Guild that is in dire need of posts. However it is somewhat my intention to better leverage the advantages of Linux; in this instance package management, to improve the BYOND Linux experience. A vague topic explaining this can be found at the Linux Guild. This blog will probably discuss minor gripes about my experience with this project.
