Hello world. I've been debating with myself for a while now whether I should register here or not, and I decided in the end to just go ahead and give it a shot.
I really got into the RL genre when I first played 'hack' in Ubuntu's BSDgames package. Once I found it, I pretty much downloaded every game in the repository that showed up in a search for 'roguelike.' Out of all of them, the one that I enjoyed the most was Gearhead. Since I found it, I've been lurking on the roguebasin wiki for a while, and even popped in on an IRC session once.
I'm a Free Software-obsessed terminal addict who particularly likes the C language (although I'm also a strong Python supporter). I'm weird in that I prefer to program strictly in the C89 standard, and play RLs in full-screen glory on my old CRT monitor. In my spare time, I'm also an undergraduate Computer Science student (isn't THAT interesting?). I think it'd be nice to develop some games in the genre, since RLs seem like something I might just be able to handle. Not to mention that the 7DRLs look like they'd be fun challenges to take part in.
I also have a habit of not shutting up when I finish saying what I need to say. Maybe I can break myself of that habit while I'm here.
