Newby/iago, I must say you have come up with an intereseting introduction format
I'm unTactical, aka daryll, aka criz8426. My real name is Chris. I am 21 and I'll give you a cookie if you can figure out what day of the month I was born on.
I'm from the exciting land known as Kansas where I go to school and work (I work for the university doing tech support)
I'm a big fan of Revis, Green Day, Seether, Crossfade, Metallica, and Copus (if any of you have ever heard of Copus, I'll give you a whole plate full of cookies). That said, I'll listen to pretty much anything except "depressive" country type music (upbeat country is fine).
I have a girlfriend of just over 3 years and a damn good one if I do say so myself.
I'm a co-chieftan of clan tactical on azeroth (wc3 dota clan, channel clan hiim). There is a long and semi-interesting story about hiim for anyone that cares
Most of us are pretty good friends and we focus more on having fun than anything else.
The only person from x86 that I know previously is deadly7, although I have had the pleasure of seeing other members' works.
I'd like to get to know x86 because they seem like a bunch of froods that really know where their respective towels are at.
Rules? what rules? /ducks (yes, I read them)
I don't watch too terribly much tv apart from Football, but I am a big fan of That 70's Show
Favorite movie is by far Boondock Saints (where are you sequel!?!)
Favorite country is UK because I love the freakin accent, continent: er.....australia....they have kangaroos! season is definately winter, can't get enough snow.
My major is computer engineering with a minor in computer science (I would double major if it wouldnt require me to take ~80 more credit hours). My favorite class thus far (I'm a junior) was Microcontroller assembly (we worked with Motorolla chips, fun stuff).
Favorite chemical:
Favorite food is my grandma's applie pie....mmmm mmmm good, Pepsi is my favorite soda but my favorite drink is up in the air right now as I try to decide which beer I like best
Douglas Adams is just a genious of an author so he wins hands down, I'll take away your cookies if you can't guess which of his books I like best.
I currently dual boot my primary computer to winxp and archlinux, mainly because I'm still learning linux and wanted a distro that I could actually learn the OS with and not just how to use it (I previously had FC4 installed). On my server I run win2003 and plan on installing debian.
I prefer to build my own computer so I don't really have a favorite brand. I absolutely deplore most HP/Compaq's though.
I play frisbee football and football on a regular basis and would play soccer if not for a lack of interest amongst my friends.
I'm a big strategy game buff. Warcraft 3 (dota), civilization series, heroes of might and magic series have been my favorite computer games, I'll play any card game, any time. Especially pitch, spades, or Up and Down the river (insanely fun party game). I have enjoyed the Settlers of Catan board game as well as Tom Clancy's Politika. I'll play just about anything though.
I'm really not an animal person. I don't dislike them persay, I just don't enjoy their company most of the time (that and they all smell).
My interests are primarily living the college life (aka party), programming, random hardware "hacking" (see hackaday.com), and my girlfriend. I know Java and C# pretty well, I think I've forgotten most of what C++ I knew simply because I haven't used it in almost 4 years, but I'd probably pick it up quickly. I know asp.net, php, css, html, sql, and vb as well.
with that I tip my hat, all this typing has made me thirsty
