Welcome: Say Hello

[Son of the King]

Hey all of you!

I am SotK, or Adam. I'm a programmer who works for a company called Codethink in Manchester. I have a degree in Computer Science with Mathematics from Leeds University, and in my free time I play video games, program random things and a game called Township, and spend time with my wonderful fiancée Mother of Dragons. For my final year project at uni I generalised the scan conversion algorithm for rasterizing shapes to n dimensions, something that had never been done before!

So, who are you? What have you done with your lives so far? What do you know about programming?

[Othko97]

I'm Othko, an AS student in Bury, near Manchester. I spend a lot of my time sleeping, with the rest divided between revision/working and messing about on the computer, be it gaming or attempting to do something which looks vaguely like a program. As for programming knowledge, I am competent with python and java, and I can do some web stuff (html, css and a tiny bit of JQuery). I am sadly also proficient in Visual Basic 6.0, a language which is actually older than me. This is due to the Computing department at my college, who for some reason refuse to update the language they use. Also, I am your brother SotK.

Rob, part time anything and nearly everything including a little html as required. Gamer, decent grounding in (basic) maths including geometry and algebra at sub-A level standard. Quick study for most things though, so I have that going for me, which is nice. How soon is soon?

I don't know what this means specifically but i know it's epic, congrats

Well with a bit of luck people will get posting in this thread over the weekend (I'm away this weekend), then we can start sometime next week .

Alright well I'm still hiding from the coppers or something far less interesting for the time being so might miss out, hope not though :/

If it turns out that not many people have time right now (I hear its exam time for people at the moment or soon), we can wait a while .

Hey, I'm Tea, or Mother of Dragons (MoD). SotK promised to teach me how to program in person, but all I know how to do at the moment is make his dad's computer type up the Duck Song. In my free time, I like to spend time with my lovely husband-to-be, reciting poetry (about 'the duck', most of the time), and talk about and practise for the video game/film themes album I want to sing and record that I've not got round to yet.
