My name is Jason, I’m 23 years old and live in central New York state. I’m working full time at a local telecommunications company doing software development while trying to finish my Computer Science degree at a local college.
My musical tastes center around Progressive Rock/Metal, with bands like Dream Theater, Spock’s Beard, Enchant, Frost*, etc. I also enjoy Opeth, Yes, Barenaked Ladies, Ayreon…anyway, as you can see, my musical tastes are pretty diverse.
I spend a majority of my free time playing a MMO called City of Heroes, as well as managing a supergroup for the game, X Syndicate. I also spend an inordinately large amount of time around the City of Heroes forums, posting there and trying to help out where I can.
I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about computers, both hardware and software. I tend to build my own machines from scratch, having built my desktop and a server from spare parts. I use both Windows and OS X (I absolutely love my MacBook Pro), and I also know my way around a Linux machine, Gentoo being my favorite distribution.
As far as programming goes, it’s something I do both for work and in my spare time. With help from a friend with graphics, I maintain the X Syndicate webpage (http://www.x-syndicate.com), which is built in PHP. I’m a Zend Certified PHP Developer, having completed the exam at the end of June. I’m most proficient in PHP, however I also know PowerBuilder (need to use this for work, but don’t particularly like the language), C/C++, Java, Python, Visual Basic (Ughhh) and I’m currently learning Ruby.
