Miscellaneous Info

I am a Mac user, with the majority of my computers being Macs, but I do have a PC, it is currently broken and in need of repair.

I used to work in the games industry as a Producer, so forgive me if my programming skills aren't quite at a professional level, even though I work freelance creating Mac ports of Windows games.

I live in the United Kingdom with my wife and 4 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 so I can create my own network library for use in online games.
