About Me

I'm technically finished with my CPAC program (I have all the requirements). I am just taking two courses to have two specializations (due to the requirements). I plan to have both Software Development and Game Programming.

I have been using computers since kindergarten back with an old 286 computer. Due to the cost of "upgrading" (my computer was slow), I made my own games using original BASIC. So I was a game developer at an early age.

I am also a web developer (I use WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP)) and a web designer. I also like C#/ASP to a degree.

I am also an artist. One decision before going to Seneca was to go for Animation Arts or Computer Programming. I went for the cheaper of the two. Combining both arts and computer for 3D Animation/3D Gaming would of combined the cost ~_~.

Open Source

I am not deep into Open Source like saying this is the only way. I go for whatever is the best and for me, most of them just happen to be Open Source. Like for example, I use Firefox all the time (using the latest v3 Beta) but I rarely touch Linux.

I have touched on Firefox as I know of the working of the XUL, JS, CSS and XHTML stuff. I did the modifications of Firefox in the Computing Commons (SEQ) to disable certain features like bookmarking and such. It is not "high tech" as anyone with knowledge of Firefox would be able to get around most of it. Anyway, really you should be using Portable Firefox on the labs.
