Came across this forum a few days ago, and, honestly, I really like it; the community seems to lack that certain snobbery that distinguishes most large forum communities.
I've been into programming for 4-5 years, but it's been very on and off (mostly off) until a few months ago, when I went into college (automation major). I am a serious newbie, and the only language I've seriously dealt with is C++ (though I had dabbled with other languages (VB, Python, Java, and a few more that I honestly don't even remember the names of) for a specific project a couple of years ago, but I don't really remember diddle-squat of any them).
Recently started using Linux (started with Ubuntu in a dual boot). Absolutely awesome; haven't logged in Windows for almost a month and a half now.
Also used to play music; 9 years piano, 1 year clarinet (hated it), and 1 year mpouzouki. Though I haven't really touched playing music in almost 4 years now. Favourite genres to listen to are metal (industrial, thrash and a little death) and classical.
I am a serious gamer (mainly FPSs, and RPGs (both MMOs and not)). My biggest woe right now is not having my big PC with me because it's still in the city I used to live in, and I'm with a damn netbook, so no COD:Black Ops. Seriously looking forward to The Old Republic (did I mention I love Star Wars?).
My favourite (currently watching) series are Stargate: Universe, Chuck, Big Bang Theory, and Sanctuary. Also: Futurama and Monty Python: awesome.
Real a lot of fantasy (high and not) and science fiction. (And their absolutely awesome mix: science fantasy (input angel's choir here). ) I'm currently reading the Ender series and the Discworld series, and re-reading the Tolkien books for the gazillionth time.
BTW: favourite number: 23, favourite colour: black.
And, that's that.
PS: Hah; that's more than I expected to write.
