Okay this is my history in all its glory yeah right.

I was born on Dec 15 on the tiny island of Guam. 

I went to Elementary/Middle School in Santa Barbara '85, and high school in Father Duenas '89.  

As a kid I loved video games.   My extreme favorite was the Star Wars game sit down that used pixel graphics.  I would play that game 3 hours straight on one quarter.  So because of video games I wanted to be involved in anything computers.  It was very repetitive granted but I loved it anyway.  (I found a perfectly good Star Wars game in SF at the Cliff House) I got my first computer in Sixth Grade a TRS 80, also known as Trash 80.  Then in 8th grade I received an Apple IIC which would be my computer till first year college.   Needless to say my first language was Basic. 

In college, had to get a 386SX 16Mhz because IBM PC Compatible's were standard back then.  (Does IBM PC Compatible still apply)  I had a 386sx 20Mhz notebook my junior year.  I bought a 286 off my ex-girlfriend just for the parts never did anything with it but it was cheap anyway. I had a 486dx66 sold that.  Then a 486dx33 Compaq Aero.  I still have most of these PC's in parts.  =P  After that I've never bought a computer again everything else has been provided by work.   

In 1989, I left Guam for California.   I went to college in University of San Francisco '93 and received my degree in Computer Science.  In USF I worked for extra cash and experience doing Computer Lab work, then doing System Administration of RS/6000.   This is where I became fascinated with Unix, internet type programming, and computer security issues. I went back to get my Masters degree in CS at '96,  at this level I was interested in Windows Programming.

For work I interned at Legato Systems the summer of 92 doing QA work.  I also went back to Legato after graduating to do QA for Legato in June 93.  I went to nCUBE in Nov' 94 to do Technical Support of their Super Computers.  Then in Feb of 96 I left nCUBE to my current job at Pixion (formerly called PictureTalk) as a Software Engineer doing mostly internet type programming on Unix and NT in C/C++.  It's a fun job.

(A more detailed would be to put my resume up here maybe later)

That's it for now.
