Hi, I just recently joined AR (yeah, I've noticed) after hanging around at AB for a handful of months. There. I never got around to introduce myself, but as it is a nice thing to do...

I'm (as of this date) a 35 years old guy from Norway. My main interest was always music, both listening to and creating/playing, but after 27 years of playing (not al of them in a band, mind you :bleh: ), I finally had it with everything that has to do with being in a band. So, I returned to my secondary interest, namely computer games (the ones I like, that is).

I'm what you could call a "part time worker", going from one job to another. Sacrificing education for music (beside, I genuinly hated school) has it's draw-backs. I spent quite a few years on a bar stool, but even if I hate doing that now, I still enjoy playing pool "down the pub".

I have had computers around for ages, got my C64 when I was 13 or so, upgrading to an Amiga 500 later, and "recently" a series of cheap/free PCs. I'm a bit of a science buf, although I don't have the brains to become a scientist myself :D, and so many times I said to myself "damn, why isn't there a program for this?".

So, here's a reason why I joined AR: To see what others are working on, perhaps getting a few ideas on programming (I'm preparing for the beginning here), and hopefully some help as well :huh:
I met a goldfish who remembered meeting me before, but I had forgotten about that.
