About Me:

Physical Description: 5' 10" about 210 pounds, muscular but a bit of extra fluff around the middle. I have brown hair I keep short and a red beard and blue eyes.

I have a dry sense of humor that may be considered a bit warped by some standards. I'm light hearted but serious, fairly conservative but open minded. All things in moderation, including moderation.

I'm a nerd by profession (I.T.) and by choice. Yes I can quote "The Holy Grail", I know at least 3 computer languages and I still have a "Grandmaster of Flowers" (First generation AD&D) although he hasn't done a campaign in 2 decades. I am NOT however a "Gamer". I said I was a nerd, not a neo-maxi-zoom dweebie.

Requests:

I'm looking to explore cultural diversity. I'm interested in all things from the mundane (weather, diet, work) to . . . well, anything.

Kindly Don't start by sending me your IM. I would like to get to know you a bit first.

Flirting is fine, but I'm not looking for the next Mrs.

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

Anything with wheels, cars, trucks, bikes, things that aren't really cars, trucks or bikes, Automotive History, Design, restoration, racing, cruising, ect... I've owned about 50 cars/trucks (as many as 8 at one time) and more then half a dozen motorcycles.

Sci-Fi/Fantasy, books, movies, RPG's, Art, video games, Anime, ect...

Computers, programming, Networking, games, ect . . .

Favorite Quotes:

"Start at the beginning, and when you get to the end ... Stop" (The Mad Hatter)

"I know you believe you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize, what I said isn't necessarily what I meant"

"If it weren't for learning things the hard way, I wouldn't have learned anything."

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals" (M.I.B.)

"Sometimes you're the bug, and sometimes your the windsheild"

"Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."

"For every difficult and complex problem there is a quick, simple solution, and it's wrong."

ahhh so my era is a lucky period, I can't imagine if I would have to do that when I was in school. I would be screwed! :D There's tons of GUI application, like wordpress. Joomla, last time it's such a chore to maintain coding and contents together! Now, even a person doesn't know coding, can maintain a website easily.

How bout learning programming, what would you advice me if I would wish to pick up PHP & MySQL or even some other languages?

That's very interesting, if you don't mind. I believe you won't mind if I request that ;) )

could you tell me what are changes since you start programming till now. Like over the years, is it better GUI programs help to write the codes. Easier or harder in different aspects etc.

I'm really curious about it. Because I didn't ask that when I was in school.

Thanks in advance!

what programming languages do you know?
I studied it when I was in school. But I never really like it. it's was so hard at that time. =( But now I really like PHP & MySQL. I feel a lot more fun compare to asp.net even though I don't know anything about php & MySQL.

Yeah, I miss those old phones. My kids can't even believe that they use to be like that!

It was just a joke directed at a friend of mine who claims to "hate the sound of the phone ringing". I put it up just to taunt him. But I kept it, because I kind of grew to like it!
