About Me

So you want to know about me? Ok...

I'm a web developer/designer, though I prefer to stick to the development side things. I simply prefer writing code to playing with graphics, be it (X)HTML, CSS, PHP, or JavaScript.

On the development side, I have experience in (X)HTML and CSS, having used it for years; some experience in PHP, for more than server side includes; and a little experience in JavaScript and Ajax. I have begun to increase my usage of JavaScript and Ajax recently, however.

On the design side, I'm a fair hand at cutting mockups for page usage and formatting images for size and quality. In terms of graphic design, I can find my way around in a pinch.

For a number of years I was heavily involved in the MUD community, under the name Orion Elder. I created two resource sites, once of which I still run in spite of not being that active in the community anymore; I created two codebases, one of which was released to the public; and I ran two MUDs of my own, for a time.

Every so often I play some of the free MMOs, such as Anarchy Online, B.O.T.S., Seal Online, and the like. I tend to prefer the more complex and customizable MMOs, such as Anarchy Online.

I'm an avid fan of fantasy fiction.

My reading list includes:

• The Sword of Truth (series)
• The Wheel of Time (series)
• Codex Alera (series)
• Harry Potter (series)
• Nightside (series)
• Keys to the Kingdom (series)
• Percy Jackson and the Olympians (series)
• Artemis Fowl (series)
• Children of the Red King (series)
• Obsidian Chronicles (series)
• Inheritance Cycle (series)
• Dragonmaster Trilogy(series)
• Bartimaeus Trilogy (series)
• The Legend of Nightfall
• American Gods
• The Maze of Bones

I can't really think of too much else to add, at the moment.
