A Typist

edit

Using a typical QWERTY keyboard, I average over 100 WPM.


A Graphics Editor

edit

Throughout my life I've used various versions of Paint Shop Pro. I even used Photoshop at one point.


A Programmer

edit

[[:File:QWScreenshot1.jpg|thumb|300px|Quake, the first important game I played.]] Growing up, I programmed in QBasic, C++, and Java—but I learned the most editing my complicated Quake configs and mIRC scripts. I've also played in Visual Basic, FreeBASIC, C, and Python. I hope to learn Haskell. I'm also able to make useful things in HTML and JavaScript.

I'd like to be able to make this image NOT align with the section below. I've done this by adding extra blank lines, but this won't work on wider screens and is not the proper way to do it. If you know how, tell me.



A Long-time Internet User

edit

I feel like I was on the internet before all my peers were. Before having a "real ISP" was the norm, I got my dad to switch from Prodigy to a local ISP. I remember upgrading to a 9600 baud modem.

When I was very young, I was very active on newsgroups and IRC. No one knew how young I was. I made web pages, chatted, and forumed. My internet use shifted when Quake came out, the first game that I played with others online in an interesting way (I did not play Warcraft 2 with other people very often, and Diablo didn't qualify as interesting). My next serious game after that was Starcraft, which sucked away my life.

A Linux Learner

edit

While I've used MS-DOS and Windows all my life (since around 1992), I have dabbled in Linux OSes. Recently, I have been unable to get my internet working in Windows XP, so I have been forced to use a Linux OS, and have learned a little bit from this. I plan to continue familiarizing myself with Vim and regular expressions, among other things.
