The ImageMap is really quite simple to operate. If you know what section of this site you wish to go to, all you have to do is click it. As such, if you want to see the "Palladium" part, all you need do is place your mouse over the word "Palladium" and click it. The ImageMap will do the rest. The "Palladium" section of this site will then load in the central pane (as do all other pages).
Also note that the book on the bottom right hand corner of the ImageMap is in fact a link to my email. Click it if you want to send me an email or if you want to talk to me about this site.
Whithout the font "Nosferatu Regular" installed on your system, you really are missing out on quite a lot that this site has to offer. The total feel of the sight simply does not show when using one of the other optional backup fonts. Please, install the font.

Hi! My name is Matthew Rice. I go by the name FyreDrake or Warewolf most of the time.
I am currently living in a small town with, I would guess, around 9000 permanent residents. Roughly 70,000+ tourists come and go each year, bringing in a lot of new faces and some new friends (traffic can become a real bother when they get lost, but we love their tourist money : ). I myself find the town to be rather laid back and friendly. There is usually a smile around every corner and most of the time, people will stop to help you if you break down on the side of the road. It's a simple little town with more than its fair share of connections. Other than housing prices/rent being sky high, I like it here.
I myself am almost entirely self-taught. I program several languages (HTML, Qbasic, some VB, Jscript and VBA), I am a CompTIA "A+" Certified Computer Technician and I can build almost anything you want in the way of custom computers. I love to fix every computer I can get my hands on, provided they will let me. I truly enjoy fixing them, even if they can be very frustrating some times.
The thing that sets me apart from every other techno-geek walking the planet is the simple fact that I love to work. I'll do almost any type of work. It doesn't really matter what it is, so long as I can accomplish something. In the past, I have worked general and heavy construction, worked with the local Builders Club (we put up housing in very low income areas - we only got a good part of the footer done before our time ran out - class was over and I had to get a real job), and also participated in the local Parade of Homes (I enjoyed that). I have crawled through sewers, shoveled horse leavings, and done almost anything else you can think of. Work is work. It all produces money : )
Technologically, I have run the gamut from almost becoming a teacher for advanced DOS practices to bombing out of college because I bit off more than I could handle (45+ hours a week at my job and 15+ credit hours was just to much at once considering what I was studding - Electrical Engineering Technologies). I liked school. It gave me access to some of the best teachers and classmates around (those more advanced also served as a great source of information when I got stumped on a personally project). Since my college years, I have been in various classes, technical seminars and through various programs, giving me one certification (CompTIA's A+ Certified Computer Technician) and three various programming languages (HTML/Jscript, VBA/VB and some limited very old Basic/Qbasic).
