I was born on the 8th of April, 1975 - which makes me 25 years old at the time of writing this. I graduated from Portsmouth University, England, in 1996 and then went to work for Smiths Industries in Cheltenham as a Software Engineer developing real-time embedded software for the aerospace industry. At the beginning of May 1999 - two and a half years later - I moved to Rohde & Schwarz in Fleet, since which time I've been working on equipment for testing mobile phones. I have been actively involved mudding since 1993 and created a codebase (GodWars) while teaching myself C at the end of 1994. Unfortunately, as it was my first experience with the language - and as I didn't even had a book for reference - the result was very buggy and very poorly written. This codebase has three main purposes. The first is to prove that my programming abilities have improved since I wrote GodWars. The second is to act as a prototype for my new combat system and as a possible platform for God Wars II. The third and final reason is because I wish to make a quality contribution to the mud community other than just snippets.
