__TOC__

I guess I should put some info here.

By the way, my 'nick' doesn't mean what you probably think it [http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/translation/Vulcan/imroy means]. If you want to address me by my real name, you can call me Ian.

  • Unix and Linux: I've been using Linux as my sole workstation and server OS since early 1996. I administer my family's small network with several Linux servers and Windows desktops.
  • Computer graphics: I'm interested in Ray tracing mostly, the more realistic the better. I've used Greg J. Ward's Radiance package for many years now. I especially don't like scan-line renderers like REYES.
  • Photography: This originally overlapped with CG in some ways. I have an old 1.3MP digital camera (Kodak DC240) and two manual 35mm cameras (Ricoh KR-5 super II and XR-20sp) I bought off eBay. I have a Zenitar fisheye lens and a few other lenses, including some old M42 lenses that I can use with an adaptor. I also have an old Soligor spot meter and a bulk film loader. I got into developing B&W film last year but haven't done any in a while. In early 2008 I got a medium format Pentacon Six camera and it's been keeping me occupied.
  • Programming: I mainly program in C/C++ and Perl nowadays. In my younger years I started on BASIC and Logo. I started using Turbo Pascal around year 10 in high school. I also started using Turbo C++ in (IIRC) year 11 or 12, but didn't get very far with it. I learnt C and C++ properly in University and it was around that time that I found DJGPP, a port of the GNU tools to DOS. I was also pretty good with x86 assembly in Uni, and the MIPS-like architecture described by Patterson and Hennessy. I guess I know a fair bit about the inner workings of CPU's.
