About the Author

Here is where you get to fall asleep reading the boring details of who I am and such. Yipee for j00! :P

I am (as of writing this!) 38 years old; birthdate is 01-16-1971. I am Male, married (since 09-30-1994!), a high school dropout yet employed fulltime as lead programmer for the same company for over 10 years. :P I am a homeowner (finally - as of 05-2003... a long journey it was to get there). I am a Libertarian and an Atheist.

I've been programming computers for fun since I was 10 and have been
doing it for pay since I was 18. I love computers and technology and even at home, I'm using a computer a large percentage of the time. I'm an avid gamer; I play MMORPG's almost exclusively, starting with UO when it was
released, then moving on to EQ and finally EQ2, World of Warcraft, LOTRO, and Warhammer Online. I've also played AO, Shadowbane, AC1, and CoH. I don't really like single player games much anymore since the dawn of commercial MMORPG's. The medium really is lightyears above single player games.

I'm also 50% owner (my wife owns the other 50%) of Amphigory, an online
store. I wrote the shopping cart system from scratch and assisted with the HTML design and such; she does the "real" work day-to-day. We started it back in 1996, long before the Internet was heavily used for stores and such. It's been interesting seeing the Internet grow and change.

We used to run an Internet Radio Station called The Sanctorium, too. But the RIAA took care of that. :(

I am also a radio controlled airplane pilot, and am also just getting into playing Warhammer tabletop.

More shall be added later I suppose.
