I do NOT IM... don't ask me for my MSN, YIM, AIM, MySpace, Facebook, Skype, pigeon, iChat, GoogleTalk etc etc... I just don't have them, and don't intend to get them. Yes I've tried, they all suck compared to IRC. Better yet, use the forums. ^_^
I'm an IT Tech and work for a British College of further and higher education running PC and network maintenance. In my spare time, I program. Mostly low level system tools, but understanding machine code, PC hardware and the intricacies of most OS (both old and new) means I'm reasonably good at turning my hand to reverse engineering.
My favourite computer languages are 680x0, Z80 and 80x86 machine code and most forms of Basic, but I've also written in Fortran, REXX, COBOL, C, C++, Pascal (and derivatives) and I love to write shell scripts.
I've even written a little Perl, PHP and Python ... but I can't say I really *know* them.
