I am a Computer Scientist - well - so states my degree. I would rather say that I am a professional dork who likes to play with code and most things electronic. The first of the two previous statements is the expensive part of how I get to do what I love for a decent salary; the second is why the cost of the other is so worth it.

Particularly, I spend most of my computer time writing code in either C or Ruby. Work tends to push me beyond the code aspect of the industry - seems that ideas are what drives the industry, not production. (If you work in an environment similar to mine that statement makes perfect sense to you). Regardless of professional obligations, my passion is still coding, scripting, and general hackery.

I have a beautiful wife who has helped me realize my greatest achievement: my daughter. At one point, I thought that I would never want children - without my wife I would have been doomed to experience that unfulfilled void. (Thank you, Lissy)

I am located on the eastern side of the US, and if you would like to know more than that you are going to have to get to know me better.

This is somewhat of a playground for me; I have always enjoyed writing code and in the course of pursuing a degree in Computer Science I have twiddled with many little projects. Most of these have fallen by the wayside due to lack of interest by either myself or others. This is someplace I can place these little projects in the hope that they either become useful to others or provide a start for the imagination of another.

What you find here is GPL unless otherwise stated. Although, I would like you to mention either me or this site if you find these things useful. Thanks in advance for that.

I frequent forums (devshed and gidforums) so I see a huge amount of requests for 'I need this' and 'Do this for me! ASAP!!!11!'. That tends to get bothersome, so I will link those annoyances to the scat files.

As I mentioned earlier, I have many little projects that I fiddle with every now and again. I am, on a general note, lazy. When I get to playing with one of these I will try to remember to put it here - no promises though. My projects are located in projects
