Who Am I?

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

My name is Jason, and I’m a computer geek.

I’m part of the first generation of kids to grow-up with a computer.  My father brought home a PC back when I was 9 years old, and I’ve never been the same.  My skills are mostly based off experience, even though I’ve got schooling and have read a few good books.

Now that I’m in my 30’s and have my own kids, which are starting to become a bit more self-reliant, I’m able to venture back into a few hobbies and start this blog.  My Hobbies include model car kits, an N-Scale Train set, writing a PC games and other miscellaneous programs. 

Currently I’m working on finishing a couple of side-projects:

  • A Java program that uses trial-n-error to ‘evolve’ code, coupled with Memory (database) of previous actions, this may be my version of Artificial Intelligence.
  • A Perl program that downloads all available Stock Market data for another process to analyze.
  • My N-Scale train set.  I’ve recently found a few hours to spend on a train-set that has been ignored for the last 7 years.

Here’s a brief summary of my skills: (Full resume available upon request).
