Miscellaneous Info

I am a Mac user, with the majority of my computers being Macs, but I do have a PC.

I used to work in the games industry as a Producer, but I am trying to become a programmer, and I currently work freelance creating Mac ports of Windows games.

I live in the United Kingdom with my wife and 6 month old daughter. I also have a step son that visits every summer. My wife is American, and I will probably be moving to the US in the next 5 years or so. The amount of spare time I have because of these things, is minimal, I like to spend my time being productive, so tend to plan out everything I am going to do well in advance of being able to do it.

I started working on this project as I wanted to see how other people implemented the networking side of online games. I am learning alongside creating my own network library for use in online games.
