How did you get into computing?
-------------------------------
I started out with a 16K ATARI 400 which I got for Christmas when I was
five years old (from Phil and Karen Chappel). I programmed some rather
dodgy: 10 PRINT "HELLO" 20 GOTO 10 sort of programs on it. The
year after, I got a 64K ATARI 800XL. I started making questionnaires,
quizzes, and a Pac-man game on this. Two years after that, I got a
half-meg 520STFM and STOS Basic. I started doing some REALLY CRAP demos
on this, and another Pacman game. After seven years of owning this, I
finally got my 2Mb 1040STE.
How much time do you spend computing each week?
-----------------------------------------------
Let's see. On a normal week, when I have school, I come home on Mondays
to Fridays at 4 o'clock, compute until 6, have dinner and take the
pooches for a walk, return at 8, and compute until 11. That makes about
five hours on a school day. Multiply this by five days to get 25 hours.
Then, on weekends, I start at 9, program until 1, have lunch and watch
the A-Team (accidentally), restart at 3, program until 7, have dinner,
restart at 9, program until 11.30.... That makes 10 and a half hours.
Multiply this by two to get 21 hours on weekends. Add these up, and you
get roughly 46 hours per week. Phew!
During this time, what do you do on your computer?
--------------------------------------------------
I thought a graphical presentation would be most fitting here...
______________________________________________________________________
| A | B | C | D |E|F| G |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A=Program Demos E=Create music
B=Program Games F=Watch demos
C=Program Utilities G=other
D=Play Games
This, of course, is liable to change dramatically, depending on what I
am doing...
Current occupation?
-------------------
Left secondary school. Soon to start college. Looking for job.
Hobbies?
--------
Playing Fantasy Fighting adventure boardgames like Advanced Heroquest
and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.
Weight training.
What about computing?
---------------------
Oh, I do a bit of that, as well.
I can't be bothered to do anything else here. I hope you have found out
what you wanted to know about me (as if you did anyway!)
