Hi Everybody!
 

This thread is intended for new members to introduce themselves.  Before you do, please remember to read the rules so you know what info to keep private.  I'll start with the introductions! Laugh

 

My name is Grizzle and I helped to create iD Tech 365!  My interests include web design and I'm an amateur flash game programmer (I'm making a game about cowboys, ask me about it!)  I just started playing Minecraft and I really dig it, I like "survival mode" the most.  I built my own computer and it is pretty crazy looking, huge with lots of blue LED lights.  Aside from computers, I really like biking and hiking.  My favorite food is pizza and I actually prefer plain cheese the most.

 

Now your turn!  If you need ideas, try these:

 

  • Technology Interests?
  • Favorite video game (if it is a Teen rated game, please discuss that on the teen forums instead)?
  • Favorite food (or pizza topping!)
  • Favorite thing to do out doors?
  • Do you have any pets?
  • What were you for Halloween last year?

I really like computer programming and game design. I've had lots of experience!

Hmmmm… I don't play that many video games. I prefer to make them, although I thought about buying Minecraft.

My favorite food is sushi.

I like to play soccer and play in the snow outdoors.

I have a pet, he's a welsh corgi (pembroke).

Last year I didn't dress up for Halloween, but this year I dressed up as a NINJACool

 

Since no one introduced themselves, I thought I should just introduce myself.

I'm an amateur C++/ Lua game developer. I have a few years experience of playing around with programming languages. Some include, Java, C#, C++, Lua, Python, and VB.

 

I enjoy webdevelopment as well. Been making websites since age 11. Laugh

 

I love pizza and chicken.

 

My favorite video games (I don't have just one favorite.) are: Minecraft and Diablo 2. I also cannot wait for Skyrim!!

 

Well that's me in a nutshell.

I figure I should introduce myself as well.

 

My name is Koga and I helped create iD Tech 365 as well. I work for iD as their lead developer building a lot of the iD-specific programs and web sites that you see. I also taught at camps for three years before becoming their developer. If you were at William & Mary in the past three years, I probably know you. ;)

 

Like Charles, I also started programming when I was around 10 or 11 (which is one of the reasons I absolutely love iD). I know do a lot of web development and programming, as well as some game development on the side. Among others, I'm really fluent in HTML/CSS, Javascript, PHP, C++, C#, and Actionscript 3/Flash/Flex. I also know a handful of others which I put to use here and there.

 

My favorite games also include Minecraft. I can't wait for Skyrim either. One I just started playing that I've been surprisingly impressed with is DC Universe Online.

 

My favorite foods include sushi and zaru-soba (which is cold soba noodles served with dipping sauce).

 

I really like roller blading and martial arts (I have rank in Aikido, Tae Kwon Do and Arnis).

Koga, I like zaru-soba too!

 

Koga, can you teach me some Flash tips because I'm a beginner? You can post some Flash tips in the other forums.

Sure. You should start up a thread in Web & Flash or Game Design and ask some questions and I'll give you some pointers. =)

Hello! I'm Zonkey and I am one of the managers for our iD Tech Camps. 

 

I love football games, usually alternating each year between Madden and NCAAF, on Xbox. On PC, I love RPGs (working my way through Torchlight on lunchbreaks) and RTS (SC2 and LoL).

Hey Everyone,

 

This is Rendawg or the God Father (from camp) and I'm also one of the forces behind this new online learning project.  We are extremely excited to launch iD Tech 365 this year and thrilled to see all of you here asking your great questions and hopefully learning something. 

 

IT is my thing here with the company but that's not where my interests stop.  I'm a photographer and a musician outside of work and have a lot of experience with Photoshop and Lightroom.  My Photoshop skills fall in the realm of photo editing and not in graphic design so much ( I was a web developer in another life long long ago). Got any photography, Photoshop, Lightroom, or IT questions throw them out there and I'll do my best to help answer them.

 

Gaming. I was a huge Quaker back in the day.  FPS's are my cup of tea.  Just bought Gears of War 3 and started putting some time into that but to be honest I'm still not all that proficient with a console controller for FPS.  I'm PC old school when it comes to playing games, especially fast paced FPS.

 

Food: love Sushi and Indian (not at the same time though)

 

Alright, passing the baton forward.  Next!!

Here's a valuable tip on this site: you can bookmark lessons! Scroll down until you see a book and click the text next to it that says "Bookmark this Page". You also get 1 extra point for every bookmarked lesson!

 

I'm getting Premier Pro and After FX for Mac. Gonna post some stuff there!

Hmm, silversurfer, I'm not sure what would cause that or the image error you are mentioning.  Perhaps it was something related to the computer or browser you are using?  If you keep experiencing this, please report the problem by sending a screenshot of the error and a description of the problem to BugOut@internaldrive.com, we'll help you out!

 

But, most importantly, welcome to iD Tech 365! welcome  And, congrats on snagging the 1st place score in Tower of Greed so quickly.  Though remain vigilant, the competition will only get harder!
