Let's see here...
My name is Robert and I live in Houston TX.
I started reading RLC sometime in 2001 and usually read the new comics every day.
I worked in the IT industry for 6 years after HS doing everything from Win95 rollouts to COBOL programming. In 2000 I decided I needed an education and enrolled in college. About the only thing I do now that is related to IT is building computers for friends and I usually build a new one for myself every 6 months or so. I am an English major with an emphasis in Creative writing but I think I am going to change to Political science and just minor in CW.
My two current machine specs are:
1) 3ghz Hyper Threaded P4
Intel D865GBF
2GB Crucial DDR400 PC3200
ATI 9700 Pro
SB Audigy2 ZS
Antec 1080 AMG
WinXP Pro
2) AMD XP 2400
ASUS AN8X Deluxe
1gb Crucial DDR400 PC3200
Nvidia Geforce FX 5700
Nvidia Soundstorm Audio (works great
)Antec Lanboy
WinXP Pro
I got the P4, motherboard and a copy of WinXp Pro for $200 from Intel otherwise I never would have left AMD. I love their processors.
Oh yeah, I tend to be a teensy bit long winded when I am up late at night and bored. As they say, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
The second step is talking about the problem...Yet that leads to...My main hobbies are PC gamming, reading Sci Fi/Fantasy, Paintball, Hapkido, Bowling, writing stories, keeping my car nice and clean, and taking care of my dog and cat.
Scout is a 70lb Aussie Shepherd and Lab mix. My cat (Spots, Spotsie, Kitty, Kittsie or whatever else people feel like calling him) is a white and grey shorthair and looks a bit like BunBun. They get along great until Scout tries to get his groove on.
I drive a 2003 Maxima GLE. Well I should say that is what I usually drive. It is currently in the shop having a white Sentra removed from its rear end. What is weird is that I had an '02 Mustang GT that was rear ended in the exact same spot (right rear) about 8 months after I bought it. Guess how long I had the Maxima when it was hit?
For the last year or so I mainly played FPS games on the pc. Rainbow 6 ver 3 Ravenshield was a favorite for a while until my clan fell apart. Then it was on to Halo and Call of Duty. I was getting bored with the whole FPS thing when a friend of mine asked for help in FFXI. Sadly I have gotten very little sleep in the last couple of weeks since I started playing that damn thing. I swore I would never play any game that required a monthly fee and yet here I am. My main character is named AshenShugar; 22War / 9MNK. I am on the Titan server and still don't know what class I want to quest for at level 30.
Well that about wraps it up for now. Talk to you all later
Rob
