Hello! Brian_Entei here!
I've always seen this site around and heard about it from others (and even some YouTubers), but I've never bothered to come check it out myself until now.
It's a refreshingly old-style bulletin-board site straight from the 90's!
I just know I'll have a great time here.
A little about me:
I like to program (mostly in Java) and figure out how things work, breaking concepts down piece-by-piece until I understand them, and then I can put all the pieces together to make the big picture, or re-arrange the pieces and make my own picture! (So-to-speak)
I'm currently mainly focused on making my own HTTP web server from scratch, and one of my many side-projects that I currently have going on is setting up a new NTP time server from scratch as well.
I also like to tinker around with phone modems, make desktop programs using Eclipse SWT, make (mostly 2D, some 3D) desktop games, and have even tinkered around with synthesizing audio waveforms by constructing notes, measures, time signatures, and scores!
I end up hyper-focusing on stuff, burning out on it, then hyper-focusing on something else for a while. Sometimes, like with the web server, I'll only hyper-focus on a small part of it, burn out on that, then move on to something else within the same project.
It's a bit unusual, but it works for me!
