I'm currently 28 years old, located in the sun city of Sweden; Karlstad. At least that's what they call it. I've spent the last 15 years of my life programming. Starting at C64 Basic and as I got my first PC, an old Wang 286 at a lightning fast 12MHz. There I went on to GWBasic, and with the next computer I got, A 386 PC at 16MHz, I went over to QBasic and QuickBasic (yes, they are actually different). At the same time I dove into Pascal as well, writing basic graphics demos using inline x86 Assembly language for speed.
With the introduction of Windows 3.0, I
quickly picked up Visual Basic, which I've
been using from version 2 to version 6. I also had a brief
time with
My online life started back in 1995. My first website was up in 1996. My first server was up in 1998. Since then I've covered HTML/4.01, XHTML (which I'm not a fan of. XML is XML and HTML is HTML. EOD), and of course CSS up to version 3 (which this site is heavily built on. That's why it doesn't work too well in Internet Explorer. It does work in the earliest version of Firefox tho), and JavaScript. On the server side, I have used ASP, JavaScript and PHP.
As for scripted languages, I've already mentioned JavaScript, but we can also add to the list Lua (from my days writing World of Warcraft addons), Tcl (which you must know if you ever have your own Eggdrop IRC Bot), bash would kind of qualify as well.
These days I have completely abandoned Windows. Right now I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, an excellent desktop distro that does everything for me. I've also written tutorials on using GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, as well as Inkscape, which is an open source vector drawing tool.
I actually do other things besides writing code. I am very interested in music, and I produce trance, house, dnb and some other random styles myself, to be released on the label Angelic Particles, yet another one of my projects. I also play the guitar, flute and bass, not to mention clarinette and drums. I don't excel at any of the instruments at this time tho, but I know how to play them.
I also love photography and video editing. Experimenting, processing, tweaking, composing - It's an awesome feeling to put your own touch on trivial things. I've also done a bit of 3D modelling, although not that much recently.
So that's me.
