Jon maddog Hall to me More options 9:58 am (2 hours ago) Diego, Thanks for the orkut scraps. I do not think you are "mad" for wanting to write a window manager. A good friend of mine, Mike Gancarz, wrote one of the first window managers, uwm. I think you have learned quite a lot for a guy your age, and while it is great that you are learning Ruby, I do encourage you to go on and learn "C". It is a simple, but powerful language. I will be in Brazil later this year for a couple of conferences. One will be in Curitiba December 5th and 6th, and the other will be in Florianopolis December 6th, 7th and 8th. Keep up the good work and I am sure that you will soon be going to conferences all over the world talking about your new window manager.
