MEMBER PROFILE

| The beginning |
Well, it all started when my family brought home an OLD macintosh. I was very young then, and had no experiance with computers at the time. After getting bored of the spelling games, and reading rabbit B.S. I figured out where the control panel was, and ended up locking us out of the computer, lol. After that I became obsessed with computers, and slowly moved from one computer to the next absorbing all that I could. I went from mac, to tandy 3000, to an old windows 3.1 computer, then an emachine, and now my new linux box. However, I only realy started my quest for advanced knowledge after I got my emachine and got a c compiler in a book I found at savers, lol.

| Computer interests |
Well, I enjoy decompiling apps, and enjoy modifying there code even more! I also like to crack apps, and learn more about the way that they work, and how to stretch there capabilities using things such as buffer overflows. I like to program (php, c/c++, perl, and a few "basic" languages). I also have some experiance with 3d modeling and texturing, and a little in 3d animation. I LOVE linux and its capabilities, but also use windows xp because I think its important to learn about all major O/S's especialy if you routinely are asked to fix them :)

| Other interests |
Well, I'm into rock climbing, music (I play tin whistle, guitar, bass, zither, and a few more odd intruments) and I also enjoy hiking and discovering new things in nature. Hm... what else... Well, I like to study the practice and beliefs of the ancient celts, and spend alot of time reading about it and applying it to modern times. Thats about it, heh
