I type at greater than 80 words per minute, and can audio type. I enjoy programming games, and started doing so on a 48K Spectrum, some time ago, then on an Atari ST, in 68000 Assembly language, and in STOS Basic.
Games I have programmed have been mostly real-time, and multi-player.
I have an interest in raytracing and hope to do more of it this year. I like to paint, draw, model, carve, and write, and do so with reasonable aptitute.
I enjoy Fantasy and Science Fiction, to read, watch on television, or write.
I have played role-playing games of various genres, from Fantasy to Cyberpunk,
and also enjoy games of skill, be they Chess, Scrabble, or computer-based.
