| IRC | On occasion. Often just on #matt_is_god on berkely ;) |
| Grade | See my FAQ. |
|---|---|
| Colleges | Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (they gave me $11k more than anyone else) |
| Major | Philosophy, just like the guy in Road House. "Pain don't hurt." |

Princeton Midget (Usually Defense)
High School (Goaltender)
|
|---|---|
| Other Sports |
Numerous others that were not officially organized |
| Band (School) | Symphonic Band & Stage Band (Alto Sax)
Thanks to the rest of the section for not going on the trip this year . . . we have a regular sized section for once! Four for Symph, two for Stage. New for '99: No more band. Scheduling conflicts. Thanks. |
| Asian Club | Kind of been drafted . . . showed up at a meeting in
attempt to get a ride home.
How many people can you fit in Sung's car? An awful lot. |
| Chess Club | Now here's a club I haven't shown up to in a while. I
hear it still exists.
If I remember correctly, the last time I showed up, I got into a "fight" with Greene. Sung appears to still be the only person with skill in the club. Always willing for a rematch. NEW '99: I hereby declare myself President and will anounce first meeting. UPDATE: We had a wonderful year, though attendance was dismal. |
| HTML Club | Charles would want me to advertise his club (minus his
name).
UPDATE: Defunct? |
| Technology Committee | Do they actually do anything? How did I get invited to
that technology fair anyway?
Of course, it is perseveres due to the efforts of the capable Brice Daniels. Without him, our computers would have no keyboards and mice for weeks, and our computer tables would fall if a stack of papers were to be placed on them. Without Brice, our school would be stuck in the dark ages of technology. (How am I in the running for Webmaster next year?) NEW '99: Ok, I didn't get the job. Instead we have someone who "sorta" knows HTML, but nothing else about the system. "FrontPage? Dreamweaver? Nope, we use 'Cut & Paste2000'" - Anonymous |
| Academic League | Never again . . . We could have won! |
| Math League | The beauty of being in Calc BC. |
| Favorite OS | GNU/Linux (culture-wise). An OS should be a tool for a job though. |
|---|---|
| Favorite Shell | BASH (Bourne Again SHell) |
| Languages | C, C++, Java, Basic, Visual Basic, Pascal
Scripting languages: VBA, VBS, JavaScript, JScript (yeah, same thing), |
| First Language | Basic (Basica, actually, on a Compaq 8088 back in 1992
or so)
First program was definitely a classic: Guess My Number! (Third grade sounds familiar). I then went on a 7 year hiatus (more or less?) without programming again until sophomore year of high school. |
| Most Popular Game | RUDY: The Card Game |
| My Favorite Program by Me | W-Shell |
| Favorite Game Genre | RPG
Favorite games (any genre)
General Note: Quality of Origin games kind of fell by the wayside after the EA conquest and Chris Roberts and Richard Garriot left. Actually, without the founders, the creative genius behind their best games and the greatest mega-hits among the EA conglomerate, can this still be considered Origin? |
| Idiosyncracies | Helvetica, not Arial
Directories, not Folders .html, not .htm Java should be portable, not running windows-only extensions Gore did not create the net, and no government has the right to control it. What's so new about Times Roman? |
| Religion | Christian; Roman Catholic to be specific |
|---|---|
| Favorite Pro Sports Team | New Jersey Devils |
| Favorite Soft Drink | 8 parts Coke : 6 parts Dr. Pepper : 3 parts Sprite : 1 part Minute Made Orange Soda |
| Favorite Coffee | French Vanilla, Black. Always black, except for that swill BK serves. |
| Music | You'll be hard pressed to find someone with a more eclectic taste. My semi-current playlist is over here, and there is currently a boycott of Metallica related CD's and stuff. |

Rich man wanna be king, A king ain't satisfied Till he rules everything." "I believe in the love that you gave me, I believe in the hope that can save me, I believe in the faith that may raise me." ..................Badlands - Bruce Springsteen And what the people but a herd confus'd, A miscellaneous rabble, who extol Things vulgar, and well weigh'd, scarce worth the praise? .................Paradise Regained (Book III) - John Milton |
