[CheckersW]

Hey there. I'm Will, under the name CheckersW.

Programming Languages:
I mainly use VB .Net, but am interested in languages including C++, Python, Web Development and Ruby. (I'm striking that out because I'm only interested in it. Wouldn't know the code if it hit me in the face)

Favourite Console:
PC for sure.

Games:
TF2, CS:S, HL2, WoW (guilty)

Music:
Punk Rock, Electronica, Anything in a Scandinavian Language

Home Country:
Australia

Programming Experience:
About 1 year. Writing simple VB .Net programs for interest, developing games to play with my friends (mainly RPG).

My main reason for programming is that it's a meaningful hobby; something where I spend 5 hours at a computer, but have something to show for it. Few things please me more than having my friends use my programs and saying they actually help them work better, or hearing from people who have downloaded, played and enjoyed my games.

Contact:
Send me an email on William.Archinal@cgs.act.edu.au for anything from teaming up on a project, playing TF2 together or just saying Hi back.
Add me on steam on Cardshark222.

Hi Will, a.k.a. CheckersW. Welcome to Dream.In.Code.

Do you like to play checkers or is there another story behind the nickname?

Hi there! How come you like scandinavian language songs? Since I'm from Sweden I have to ask (do you have examples of artists or songs?)

Welcome to you, and I hope we'll get along just great with all the people in this place!

[CheckersW]

Alright! I just added my first tutorial! It feels good. It was a stopwatch program for VB .Net.

I like Scandinavian songs because... well... Scandinavian langauges are cool. I love Basshunter and the whole Euro/Dance genre because it's not the commercial angry music we hear all the time in Australia. Scandinavia is a music haven for me.

Hooray VB.NET!
