This site, Bearfruit.org, is managed solely by me, Matthew Nuzum. It is an outlet for my personal writings, opinions and pie-in-the-sky ideas.

About Matthew Nuzum

Most people call me Matt, however on the Internet I’m known as newz (pronounced new-zee, not news or new-zed) or newz2000. I currently work for Canonical, Ltd, the makers of Ubuntu Linux, based in the Isle of Man. I work as the webmaster and ensure that www.ubuntu.com, www.canonical.com and the various related websites work properly. Because of this, my spell checker is set to British English, which means I have to either submit to having too many vowels or ignore the red squigly lines, the latter being my regular fare. You can blame any typos or spelling mistakes on this site to that.

I love to write and I love to write code. I’m not a graphic designer or an artist, but given enough time I can get the job done.

I live in Des Moines, Iowa, USA, which is pretty near the center of the US. Formerly I lived in Bradenton Florida. Many of my co-workers are based in London, England or Montreal, Canada. None are based in Iowa. I’m in the Central US time zone, known as CDT in the summer and CST in the winter.

I’m almost always on IRC, so if you want to say hi, you can visit me on freenode, where I’m newz2000. You can send me an e-mail, my e-mail address and PGP key are listed here. My PGP key id is 6CCFADBC.

In case you haven’t figured it out, I’m a devout Christian and believe in the inerrancy of scripture (but note that I don’t believe in the inerrancy of wikipedia). I believe that all Christians are called out to tell others about Christ and I desire to use the web and written word to do that.
