Hello!

My current Wikistress levels

[edit] Current Focus

• Working on the Computer and video games WikiProject
• Cleaning up the World War II Online page, editing out bias and focusing on facts.
• Occasional edits on articles related to computer chess programming.

[edit] A Little About Me

• I'm a senior software designer at a 100 billion market cap company (you know the name, but I won't divulge it here), developing the networking layer of an operating system kernel.
• I have an M.S. in Computer Science from UC Santa Barbara. Who wouldn't want to spend 6 years on the beach, playing with computers all day?
• I love tennis, and my favorite player is Andre Agassi.
• I'm a certified computer game geek. My favorite PC game of all time is World War II Online, though I play many others as time permits. I was also an Asheron's Call fan, though I've kicked the habit.
• I have no favorite food, I eat everything!
• I'm married to a beautiful and loving woman and have a 2-year old son.
• The first movie I actually remember seeing in theatres was Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure. Embarassing, but true.
• Even though I like a wide variety of music, my favorites genre is the Blues.
• My favorite car is the Lamborghini Gallardo, although I doubt I'll buy one soon.
• I like pets, but don't have any currently. Wife hates em!
• I like to play chess, and a hobby of mine is programming a computer chess engine. It competes at around 1600 on the Elo rating system.

My handle, Warthog, comes not from the animal, but the A-10 Thunderbolt II. I first started using the handle on World War II Online, but use it on other military-themed games, as well. Some other lucky bum grabed it for Wikipedia, so I just tacked on 32. When my memory fails, I joke it's my 32 bit brain.
