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.
Warmest regards,
maddog
