You and your computer.

Ok this is how this works.
This is a place where the senior members post something about them, and their computer(s).

I can do basic c++ coding, am experienced in web design, including XHTML, CSS, JS, and PHP. I am self-taught on almost everything about computers, but am very sufficent with them.

I am a member of my school's SRC (Student Representive Council) and am going to this years SLC (Student Leadership Conference). I manage my school's technology.

I am a skilled cook, am active, and have a very high academic average in my school. My current average is 93, the second highest in my class of 35, beat only by this guy with a 98 in Phys.Ed (in comparative to my 90). I play football, basketball, volleyball, badminton, curling, track, and a few smaller school only sports, of which my favorite is badminton, which is one of the most popular sports in our school! My hobbies include the sports I listed above, coding, web design, modeling, tutoring others, song writing (lyrics), gaming (I own a PS2, Laptop, 360, Wii, and DS, and am a big fan of the Final Fantasy series), photography (landscapes & abstract), surfing the web, reading wikipedia (and unencylopedia) pages.

Pictures to come.

[Mark]

Dang, you do a lot, Omega.  Although I don't know about your school but in my gym class if you dress and don't fight with the teacher you get 100%

[Omega]

LOL, lucky. People have actually FAILED our gym class. Our teacher is a pitcher for Team Canada's softball team. He's a great gym teacher, but still marks kinda hard. Lots of the marks are like participation, etc;

[-Archmage-]

Well my gym teacher gives you so-so grades if you do the required, but he gives you much better grades if you do an exemplary job.
We get to grade ourselves.

A few people are saying pics to come, but I don't see very many pics yet.

Nice model, Eliminator.  Didja go a little crazy with the subsurf?  

I always wondered... Are you of any relation to Tiger?  He uses your model of people.

How about you tell us about your hometown? Or your school?

[hailstone]

I don't know that sharing such personal information is good on a public forum especially for persons that are under legal age (usually 18 or 21 depending on where you are). I will probably share some information about myself eventually.

[John.d.h]

Hmm... I'm pretty sure I posted a fair bit about myself in the hello topic, but here goes: My name is John, I'm 21, I've got about a year left until I get my degree in Interpersonal/Organization Communication with a minor in Information Technology.  My first 3D modeling experience was in my freshman engineering class (back when I thought I wanted to be an engineer some day) learning the basics of AutoCAD, which I used for my first Glest models as well, before I learned Blender.  I've lived in various parts of Florida since I was about seven, from rural areas and one-stop-light towns, to the thriving metropolis of Orlando.  There's a heck of a lot more I could say about myself, but... ehh... *shrug*

My current computer: Toshiba Satellite laptop, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2048MB of RAM, 250GB HDD, Windows Vista (heavily tweaked) and Kubuntu 9.04, broken keyboard ('r', 'y', '=', and about half of the numbers don't work)

[gameboy]

[ElimiNator]

Whats wrong with the sub surf It makes it look smooth wen I render the shadows.
This model Is not for glest so it dose not mater how many vertices are in it.

[Omega]

Don't go offtopic Elim.

@archmage: I'll be posting pics when I get the chance. My internet is screwed, and I gotta go take some too. I don't use my camera as much as I can...

TIDBIT: My HC SD card can hold 7000 pictures at 8MP (highest quality). Beat that!

@Hailstone: That's really for people to choose. I personally don't mind people posting personal details. It has plenty of negatives, but it's all a matter of choice (love and hate the topic). You don't have to if you don't want to, and I don't recommend it for under 13, since laws (at least here in Canada) prevent you from even signing UP on forums and stuff. However, when's the last time people listened?!?

[Mark]

Well, I don't know too much about MP, but I have 2 8 GB Jumpdrives and have been eyeing a 16 GB.  I don't know how many GBs your SD card is.

@Eliminator:  Sorry for offending you it was a joke.  I like how you have it textured and lighted well.

[Omega]

Yeah, but I don't think you can use a digital camera with a thumb drive! 

Here's the pictures:

Nice.

[John.d.h]

Well I guess if we're all posting pictures of ourselves with our shirts off, I might as well post mine.

[gameboy]

ohh naked omega! who u trying to impress dude there aren't any girls on this forum
which leaves only one conclusion, hmm...

[Omega]

Don't be gay!

And you never know. Might try to get some of my girl friends to play this... Of course, playing a game and viewing the forums are totally different things.

And what about that madelf argument a little while back?!?

 

[Mark]

And what about that madelf argument a little while back?!?

 

Wait, so you are trying to attract the attention of someone from Brazil? 

I am finally getting the hang of middle school.  It has been one heck of a boring week!  In Social Studies we are studying ancient cultures and medieval Europe, so I am going to have fun.  We were given a sheet of 30 subjects, and we were told to put them into the 8 categories we were studying.  I am not going to lie when I say I finished it in about 1 1/2 minutes, and the rest of the class only was about 3 done!  I am also in an algebra class that is for 8th graders.  I was considering taking my Science and Social Studies in the 8th grade, but I couldn't do that.  I don't know, school is just really easy for me right now.   

[-Archmage-]

Hehe......
School is so boring.....
In I.T.(Industrial Technology) class, I dozed off, and came back to the real world about 10 minutes later. I realized I was drooling so I sucked it up, and then the teacher said, "are you drooling on my table.....?". I said no.
Then Larry, laughed and said, "I heard you slurp it up".

That made me quite self-conscious because everyone looked at me.

I think that was the part where he was teaching people how to measure, cause I already knew how to measure in metric and custom, I mean I learned that before I went to preschool so......I couldn't help dozing off.

[Mark]

I have always wondered why people chose their avatars.  If you don't mind, (and I'm not being too intrusive hopefully) maybe you could share yours.  Mine is just my bro's decision.

[ElimiNator]

Ok it all started wen I got digital paintball, In DPB you shoot peple with paint balls (I hope you new that.) and if you get them they are eliminated, so I made my name ElimNator.) And later on (Wen every one new me as ElimNator I made my web page and I wanted to have a logo so With much creativeness I came up with this.
(It has improved over the years.)
