 T1Pimp and T1Pimp 2.0
Real Name: Paul
Age: 29
Resides: St. Louis
Occupation: Coder!
Favourite Websites: AfroSquad, Bert is Evil, Slashdot, Daily Rotation, Thinkgeek
Favourite Program Of All Time: WWIV BBS from back in the day. I used to get the source, code in backdoors and release it to local sites. Word... I owned them.
What Are You Working On Right Now: Currently developing T1Pimp v2.0 - a smaller, more efficient version of myself (as seen in pic).
Current Wallpaper/Screensaver: Who wants to take up memory with a wallpaper?!?!
What's So Special About Your Computer Room: Contains a lifesize DukeNukem action figure with Kung Fu grip.
How Many Computers Do You Have: 4+. An ancient IBM ThinkPad that my geek in training plays on, a P4 3g notebook, an Athlon gaming desktop, my server, and my wife's PC. I suppose my Treo650 counts as a PC. Plus more parts than you can shake a llama's tail at!
Geekiest Moment: Actually saying L O L in a conversation instead of laughing.
When Did You First Realize You Were A Geek: The minute I got my 1200 baud modem to connect to a BBS. I was instantly hooked discovering a world of 1's and 0's that allowed me to communicate without leaving my bedroom.
If I Was A Program I'd Be: MCP (Tron, of course)
Favourite Quote: "God made machine language; all the rest is the work of man."

The Truth Behind The Geek (*creative liberties taken for the benefit of the reading audience)
Paul, who used to take Polaroid pictures of his screen when he played games that didn't save his high scores, has always been frustrated with his own slow typing. Paul, who is frustrated with QWERTY and is too busy to learn Dvorak, is designing an interface that will allow him to plug himself directly into his PC (ie. Lt. Barclay from ST:TNG), because he has better things to do with his hands.
