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.

Great story!
Looks like you'll go far!
Great write-up!
I agree with you on most parts you mentioned, though still prefer Unity over Gnome. I am glad to see the mention on extensions and I too have seen the top panel and title part of a window as taking a lot of screen real-estate.
Why did you not use Ubuntu Gnome? Was it something to do with the Gnome PPA?
