Computers as an Interest
My main interests include storage technologies, operating systems, web technologies, programming, and gaming.
I’ve been programming since the early ’90s. My first language was BASIC, but I quickly moved to C and C++. I developed a solid understanding of C++ and Win32 programming at a young age. I’ve since used PHP, Perl, and Ruby in significant projects. I was doing HTML web design before high school and witnessed the advent of Javascript, CSS, AJAX, and many other now common place technologies.
As a developer and end-user, I am familiar with both Windows and Linux and prefer each for different purposes. My Linux distro of choice is Debian.
