Charlie's Web Sector 14 - Who is Charlie?

	You are visitor since 17-March-98!	Who is Charlie?

Hi! I'm Charlie, welcome to my web site! I hope you've enjoyed looking around Sector 14, I've worked hard making it. This is the personal page of my site, where you can find out all you care to know (probably much more than you care to know) about me, Charlie. I've listed several things about me designed to give you deep, profound insights into the kind of guy I am (yeah, right!), however if by some unlikely chance I've left out the answer to that question burning in your mind about me or my site, for God's sake, e-mail me! I've put an e-mail icon at the bottom of nearly every page on this site. They work, please use them. Anyway, on to those, uh, deep, profound insights, yeah, that's it...

What I do
I am a 29 year old C programmer in Indianapolis, IN with a BS in Computer Technology from Purdue University. I work at Tivoli Systems, an IBM company, writing automated test software for our products.

What else I do
Work on this web site, watch TV, eat, sleep, breathe -- I do a lot of breathing, I'm real good at it

Time Travel, yeah, that'd be cool...

Levitation. That would be almost as cool as flying...

My 15 Minutes of Fame

Once hung out with (followed around like real geek) Walter Koenig, aka Chekov from Star Trek and Psi-cop Bester from Babylon 5, at a Star Trek convention. For about 15 minutes actually. He didn't scan me -- he wasn't Bester yet back then! Still good ole Chekov...
