About me: I have been using Linux for about eight years. I started with Slackware, but grew tired of it and migrated to Gentoo in December of 2005. I started programming with HTML in 1999 with my first site being on Geocities. My first "real" programming language was PHP, which I picked up in 2002. Nowadays I do various projects for TV-Nihon (as their Server Administrator) and the UPL. I am developing a bittorrent tracker using C++/PHP/MySQL for TV-Nihon as well as a web game called "Campus Wars" using PHP/MySQL for the UPL. My main interest in my major deals with Solar System Astrophysics. I am also interested in the search for extraterrestrial life. For this reason, I may pursue a masters degree in Aeronautical Engineering and try to find work in the private sector, since I really do not want to deal with the politics involved with working at NASA.
