Ever wondered about Jonathan Riddell?

[Fenyx]

We see his name in almost every Kubuntu release/announcement.
Anyone wondered who he is or what he looks like? Is he related to Lord Voldemort?
There was an interview with him a few days back. Just thought that people might want to read it. Here's the link:

I'm kinda amazed and jealous at the same time. He's just a year older than me but he has done so much for the Kubuntu community. Never expected him to be 23 years old.

Did you expect me to be 15?

Re: Ever wondered about Jonathan Riddell?

what the.... you've got to be the youngest developer ever! Ok, now this is making me really jealous (just discovered a few days ago that Petr Rockai , Adept's creator, is just 23 yrs old).

You're probably wondering why that makes me jealous. Well, I've always dreamt of being a computer programmer and taking up Computer Science in college. But through some twist in fate, I ended up taking Philosophy instead (quite a contrast). Now, all I can do is try to study programming on my own free time (going to school again is out of the question, and out of the budget). That, and I have to rewire my brain when it comes to programming, since I was brought up on the myth that developing for Windows is the way to go.

So just imagine my frustration...

(Sorry about the rant )

PS. I'm adding your blog to my feeds, right next to Planet KDE.
